Volume is a measure of size. A block of gold that is 1 centimeter on each side is, (wait for it!) 1 cubic centimeter in volume. If it is 1 inch on each site it would be 1 cubic inch in volume.
Look up the density.
454 g / Density (g/mL or cubic centimeter) = volume
It is very very very close to a pound
the answer is 13.3223 ml
The answer is 9.317ml.

Assuming the specific gravity (density) of Galena is 7.6 grams per cubic centimeter, 300 grams would occupy a volume of 300/7.6 = 39.47368421052632 cubic centimeters.
In fact, pyrite is heavier than gold. I'm not sure exactly, but I believe it is anywhere from 5% to 20% heavier than gold of the same volume.
You can measure the volume of elements like gold in their solid state using displacement. You can do this by putting water in a measuring cup and then putting the gold in the water. Record the level of the water before and subtract it from the level of the water after and you will get the volume. In its liquid form, you can just use a measuring cup.
First you must determine the volume of the gold object. This can be done by using a container with water that is on a scale. The weight of the container and water has to to be recorded or the scaled "zeroed out" with the water and container on it. Next you suspend the gold object with a fine thread in the water. For simplicity it is better to use grams for weight and cubic centimeters (1 cc= milliliter) for volume. The difference of weight caused by the suspended gold is equal to the weight of water with the same volume as the gold object. Since one cubic centimeter of water weighs one gram this ralationship allows for conversion from weight directly to volume. Now that you know the volume of the object you need to multiply it by the density of gold, 19.3 grams per cc. Now put the gold object on the scale and see how much it weighs. The calculated answer and the scale reading should be the same if it is made of gold.
Gold would definatly sink in mercury............ mercury is much much denser then gold so therefor the gold will float. The amount of upthrrust will be the same as the amount of weight causing the gold to float. My science teacher told me and so did my science book and so did almost all the sites i looked up. ;) ======================== I don't have enough of either one to be able to check it out, and I don't have a science book or a science teacher to consult. But the way I understand it, here's how you figure out the answer: -- The density of Mercury is 13.53 gm/cm3 -- The density of gold is 19.32 gm/cm3 -- So, unless you carefully shape the gold into a little tiny canoe, bass-boat, or cruise ship, that can displace a lot more volume than simply the volume of the nugget, it will sink in the mercury. The reason is: Because gold is more dense than mercury. It doesn't have to be 'much much denser'. It only has to be more dense.
That would depend very much on what the solid was. Gold would take up much less volume than plastic.
Volume = how much space an object occupies, that nothing else can occupy at the same time.
Volume = how much space an object occupies, that nothing else can occupy at the same time.
lead has much higher density
It is $1800
1800

No. Mass is better. The same amount of mass can occupy different volumes.
100 lbs of steam. The volume that the steam will occupy will depend on the pressure.
The gold. The mass per unit volume of the gold will be much higher.
None. 2262.24 is a number which is an abstract mathematical concept. It has no physical existence and so does not occupy any volume.
The cubic volume occupied by a shipment in Cubic Meters is referred to as the shipments cbm. Note, it is cubic volume occupied, not the volume that would be displaced if placed in a water bath. An odd shaped package would occupy a much larger volume than its pure cubic volume.
