A nugget of gold with a mass of 521 g is added to 50.0mL of water. The water level rises to a volume of 77.0mL. What is the density of the gold?

The question to your answer is:

Explanation:

Data

mass = 521 g

Water volume = 50.0 ml

Increase of water = 77 ml

Formula

density = mass / volume

First substract the final volume to the initial volume

Volume of gold = 77 - 50 = 27 ml

Now, use the formula

density = 521 / 27 ml = 19.3 g/ml
