"Gold is more dense than lead" means:

for equal volumes of gold and lead ,gold is more massive than lead .

Density : is a property of a substance , equal to its mass per unit volume. More simply, it is a measure of how much matter is squeezed into a given space.

Density=mass/volume

where, in SI units: : ρ (rho) is the density of the substance, measured in kg/m3 : m is the mass of the substance, measured in kg : V is the volume of the substance, measured in m3 The density of gold at room temperature is 19.3g/cm3 or equivalently 19300kg/m3

The density of lead at room temperature is 11.34g/cm3 or equivalently 11340 kg/m3

What is heavier water or lead?

Lead (11,34 g.cm^-3) has a greater density than water (1 g.cm^-3) so for the same volume of water and lead, lead will be heavier. The "-3" should be written as an exponent but it won't allow me


Which is heavier wood or lead?

Because centimeters cubed is a unit of volume, not weight. The two might take up the same amount of space, but iron is much more dense and as such weighs more.


Is the volume of gold 20g greater than the volume of lead 10g?

We need to calculate the volume of a metal from the density to be sure. Density of pure gold = 19.3  g·cm-3Density of pure lead = 11.34  g·cm-3The volume of 20 g of gold = mass/density = 20 [g] / 19.3  g·cm-3 = 1.036 cm3 The volume of 10 g of lead = mass/density = 10 [g] / 11.34  g·cm-3 = 0.882 cm3 Hence, the volume of 20 g of gold is slightly greater than that of 10 g of lead. =========================


What fruit is less dense than water?

Easy, put a fruit in water and if it floats it is less dense than water.


Can a solid be less dense than a liquid?

Yes, there are many. For example, anything that floats on water is less dense than liquid water. A number of solids are less dense than liquids. The most common example is ice. Ice (frozen water) is less dense than its liquid counterpart for some very specific reasons. Many other solids are less dense than liquids, as well. Using water as the liquid, you'll find that cork, wood (most kinds) and styrofoam will all float on it. As the liquid becomes more dense, the range of items that will float on it increases. Mercury, for example, is a liquid metal at room temperature. Because it is so dense, many things will float on it. Lead is one example of something that will float on liquid mercury. For a question about substances that are less dense in their solid form than those same substances in their liquid form, use the link below to the related question.

Can gold float in a molten vat of lead?

Yes, gold can float in a molten vat of lead because gold is less dense than lead. When molten, materials with lower density will float on top of materials with higher density. This property allows for the separation of gold from lead in a process called cupellation.
