A 500 gram price of metal has a volume of 2.75. What is the density

Density of an object is computed by dividing its mass by its volume. D = M / V

Solution:

D = 500 g / 2.75 cm3

D = 181.82 g/cm3

Further, density of an object is computed by dividing its mass by its volume. D = M / V

However, since Volume is the missing component in the equation. Mass of an object is divided by its density to get its volume. V = M / D

Volume of Gold nugget = 50 g / 19.3g/cm3 = 2.59cm3

Volume of Iron Pyrite nugget = 50 g / 5.0g/cm3 = 10cm3
