Gold is one of the more dense metals. It is definitely more dense than sawdust. Without looking up the exact densities, we can still make a comparison.
Density = Mass/Volume ---> Volume = Mass/Density.
Since we have the same mass of each: Mass = 1 tonne, we have:
Volgold = 1/Densitygold, and Voldust = 1/Densitydust. So we want to compare Volgold and Voldust :
1/Densitygold 1/Densitydust. We already know that Density of gold is greater, so we have: 1/(big number) 1/(smaller number). So 1/(big number) is less volume. Just pick some numbers to see:
1/1000 < 1/10. The volume of the same mass of sawdust is greater.

What takes up more space-a kilogram of sawdust or a kilogram of iron?
The sawdust. Density is the property that relates mass and volume (density = mass/volume). So the more dense something is, the less space a fixed mass of that material will take up. As iron is considerably more dense than sawdust (or any solid wood for that matter) it will take up much less space.

Which of these takes up the most space in an atom?
The thing that takes up the most space of an atom at about 99.99% of the size of the atom is empty space. The majority of the remaining 0.01% is found in the nucleus and about 0.00001% of the atom is taken by the electrons.

What takes more space a kilogram of gold or a kilogram of aluminum?
aluminum
What weighs more a ton of gold or a ton of sawdust?
1 tonne = 1000 kg 1 tonne of gold has the same mass as 1 tonne of sawdust. The pile of gold would be smaller as the density of gold is higher.
Which has more mass an ounce of feathers or ounce of gold?
An ounce of gold will have more mass because mass is how much space an object takes up. Feathers have a low density, while gold has a high density and takes up more space than a pourus (wispy) feather. So an ounce of gold does take up more space than an ounce of feathers.
Why does a kilogram of sand takes up much less space than a kilogram?
A kilogram of sand takes up much less space than a kilogram of feathers because sand is denser than feathers. Density refers to how much mass is contained in a given volume. Since sand particles are heavier and more compact than feathers, they occupy less space for the same mass.
