Answer :

maacastrobr

Answer:

Density = 19.3 g/cm³

Explanation:

In order to answer this question we need to keep in mind the following definition of density:

  • Density = Mass / Volume

As both the mass and the volume are given by the problem, we can proceed to calculate the density of gold:

  • Density = 301 g / 15.6 cm³
  • Density = 19.3 g/cm³
