Question

You were out walking in the desert and found a piece of metal that looks like gold. You made the following measurements. Mass of solid 14.074g Water level (without solid). 5.85 mL Water level (with solid). 6.57 mL Volume of solid. ____ cc Calculate the density of the metal. ____ g/c Gold has a density of 19.3 g/cc. Can this metal be gold? You were out walking in the desert and found a piece of metal that looks like gold. You made the following measurements.

Can this metal be gold?

Explanation / Answer

volume of solid = 0.72 cc

density of metal = 14.074/(6.57-5.85)

= 19.54 g/cc

yes, it can be gold because those densities are equal
