Question

can someone help me on this?
To determine whether an element is actually gold, scientists will often determine the density of the
element and compare it to the known density of gold (19.3 grams/cubic centimeter, or 19.3 g/cc).
Samples less dense might be mixtures of many elements (not pure gold).
A sample is found to have a mass of 500 g. The sample is a perfect 2 cm cube. Is this sample gold?
Step 1. Identify given and unknown information.
Given Information Unknown Information
Mass = 500 g
Volume = 2 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm = 8 cc
Density = ?

Answer 1

mass/volume = density

Answer 2

Then you have to Choose the appropriate formula from the basic scientific equations. i know this is science but i was hoping you guys could help me

Answer 3

Is 500g/8cc = 19.3 g/cc
