The density of gold is 19.3 g cm3 The density of iron pyrite is 5.0 g cm3 If a nugget of iron pyrite and a nugget of gold each have a mass of 50 g what can you conclude about the volume of each nugget?

The nugget of gold has a volume of 2.6 cm3, and the nugget of pyrite has a volume of 10 cm3.


How can you express the volume of a gold nugget using cubic units?

Submerge it in water and determine the volume (in cubic centimeters) that it displaces. That will be the volume of the nugget.


If you have 80mL of water and you add a gold nugget in the water rises 225mL what is the volume of gold nugget?

145


What is the mass of a piece of pyrite that has a volume of 40cm3?

Iron pyrite (FeS2) has a density of 4.8 to 5.0 grams per cm3. A piece of volume 40 cm3 would, therefore have a mass of volume*density = 192 to 200 grams.


A nugget of gold is placed in a graduated cylinder that contains 80 ml of water the water level rises to 225 ml after the nugget is added to the cylinder what is the volume of the gold nugget?

nugget is 175 ml


How could the volume of a gold nugget be found using water and a graduated cylinder?

Fill the graduated cylinder half full (may be more or less depending on the actual situation) and drop in the gold nugget. Read the final volume mark and subtract the initial volume from the final volume. This difference in volume is the volume of the nugget. This is related to the principle of buoyancy and it is said to have had a colourful story behind its discovery. Read the Wikipedia article on 'Eureka (word)' to learn more.


A nugget of gold is placed in a graduated cylinder that contains 85 mL of water The water level rises to 225 mL after the nugget is added to the cylinder What is the volume of the gold nugget?

145cm cubed


What is the density of a gold nugget that has a volume of 1.68 cm3 and a mass of 32.4 g?

With the information given, the density of your nugget is about 19.29 g/cc. The density of gold is given as about 19.3 g/cc, so your nugget fits the density requirements for it to be a gold nugget.


A graduated cylinder contains 250ml of water.after adding a nugget of gold to the waterthe cylinder holds 265ml of liquid. What is the volume of the nugget.?

What are the metric measurements of a gold nugget?

The answer depends on what characteristic of the gold nugget you wish to measure: its mass, weight, volume, density, temperature, electrical conductivity, etc.


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

Assuming the gold nugget is solid and pure (unlikely in real life!) The volume of the nugget is 77.0 - 50.0 mL = 27.0 mL So density = mass/volume = 521/27.0 = 19.3 g per mL.


How much lighter is pyrite than gold?

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.
