If you use the definition of "density" as mass/volume, then yes. That's the standard definition.However, it is also possible to define density as weight/volume.

What is the density of mars compared to earth?

Mars' atmosphere is almost entirely carbon dioxide gas (95%) with only a little nitrogen (3%)(as well as 1.5% argon) Compare with Earth: 77% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, 1% argon, 1% water vapour, 1% other gases.


Is there evidence of gold and platinum on mars?

yes. when the astranats where on mars they took samples of rocks and found small amounts of gold and some very tiny peices of platimun


Why would a chunk of gold weigh more on the moon then earth?

A chunk of gold would weigh the same in both places, as weight depends on the mass of the object and the force of gravity acting on it. However, the gold would appear lighter on the Moon because the Moon has less gravity compared to Earth.


Does the moon have gold in it?

The moon does indeed have a little gold on it.Gold was discovered on the moon along with water, silver and mercury.See the link below for an article on it.However, there is no point in mining it. The cost of building and running a mining facility on the moon plus the cost of transporting the gold back to Earth will cost billions. Whereas gold on Earth is worth just hundreds or thousands. The cost just isn't worth it, it would cost you more to mine and transport than you can sell it for.


Does gold come from space?

Yes, gold can come from space. Gold is thought to have been formed in supernova explosions billions of years ago and then brought to Earth through meteorite impacts. However, the majority of gold on Earth is thought to have been created through geological processes within the Earth's mantle.

Is there gold on the planet mars?

Most likely yes. All elements found on Earth can probably be found on Mars. However, trying to retrieve the gold from Mars would cost more than the gold is worth.

If the relative density of gold is 19.3 what would be its density?

relative density is related to the density of water. i.e. a relative density of 19.3 means that it has a density 19.3 times the density of water. The density of water is 1g/ml therefore the density of gold is 19.3g/ml


What is the density of gold in a ring and in a necklace compared?

The density of gold is the same regardless of its form, which is approximately 19.3 g/cm^3. Therefore, the density of gold in a ring and in a necklace would be the same if they are made of the same type of gold alloy.


How could you use density to determined whether a bar of metal is pure gold?

You could compare the measured density of the bar of metal to the known density of pure gold (19.32 g/cm³). If the measured density matches the density of pure gold, there is a high likelihood that the bar is made of pure gold. If the measured density is significantly different, then the bar is likely not pure gold.


What is the density of liquid gold?

The density of liquid gold is approximately 19.32 grams per cubic centimeter, making it one of the densest substances on Earth.


How do you found out if gold is fake?

you could do a density test. If you measure the mass of the object and divide it by the volume (displacement test would be easiest) then you have calculated the density. the density of gold is 19.3 so if you get something close to this then it is gold.


How do you find the density of gold?

To find the density of gold, you would need to divide the mass of the gold sample by its volume. The density of gold is typically around 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter. So, if you have the mass and volume of the gold sample, you can use this information to calculate its density.


If the density of a small gold ring is 8 times the density of water what would be the density of a large gold bar 100 times the size of the ring?

The density of gold is 19.3g per cm3. The density of water is 1g per cm3. This doesn't change whether you have a tiny speck of gold or a giant lump the size of an iceberg. If a small gold ring has a density of only 8 times the density of water, then I'm sorry but you've been ripped off. It's not real gold, it is in fact iron.


Would the density of a piece of gold be different depending on its size?

No, the density of gold remains constant regardless of its size. Density is a physical property of a substance that is determined by its mass and volume, so as long as the material remains the same, the density will also remain constant.


What is the density fool gold?

The density of Fools Gold is 5.0


Would you expect the density of gold to be greater than or less than 1.0 g or mL?

The density of gold, which is rather soft and dense, is 19.3g/cm^3.
