Question

The mass of a gold bar is 250 kg. Find the volume of a gold bar with the mass of 200 g, leaving your answer in mm

Answer 1

Answer:

They are related by the the density triangle.

Explanation:

They are related by the the density triangle.



d = mV

m = d×V

V = md

DENSITY

Density is defined as mass per unit volume.

d = mV

Example:

A brick of salt measuring 10.0 cm x 10.0 cm x 2.00 cm has a mass of 433 g. What is its density?

Step 1: Calculate the volume

V = lwh = 10.0 cm × 10.0 cm × 2.00 cm = 200 cm³

Step 2: Calculate the density

d = mV = 433g200cm³ = 2.16 g/cm³

MASS

d = mV

We can rearrange this to get the expression for the mass.

m = d×V

Example:

If 500 mL of a liquid has a density of 1.11 g/mL, what is its mass?

m = d×V = 500 mL × 1.11g1mL = 555 g

VOLUME

d = mV

We can rearrange this to get the expression for the volume.

V = md

Example:

What is the volume of a bar of gold that has a mass of 14.83 kg. The density of gold is 19.32 g/cm³.

Step 1: Convert kilograms to grams.

14.83 kg × 1000g1kg = 14 830 g

Step 2: Calculate the volume.

V = md = 14 830 g × 1cm³19.32g = 767.6 cm³
