density is mass/ volume. pure gold's density is 19.30 g/cm^3

OpenStudy (ilovebmth1234):

sorry im not good at this so i might sound really stupid when i ask this question but , what does that mean then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you just substitute the value :) you are given a mass of 500 grams and a volume of 8 cc, so to get the denstity you divide the mass by the volume :)

OpenStudy (ilovebmth1234):

62 500 kg / m^3???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no need to convert, answer should be 62.5g/cc. Compare the value with pure gold's density which is 19 g/cc to know if the unknown substance is pure gold or not :)

OpenStudy (ilovebmth1234):

it isn't pure gold because the value is higher than the density of pure gold...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's right :)

OpenStudy (ilovebmth1234):

really!?

OpenStudy (ilovebmth1234):

can yo take a look at step 4 ? did we go throw that one already?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, that's the division part :)

OpenStudy (ilovebmth1234):

ohh ok, so would i write out the division problem on the line provided?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (ilovebmth1234):

alright :D thanks so much it really helped!

OpenStudy (ilovebmth1234):

i put 500g/8cc on the first line and 62.5g/cc on the second... correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah :)

OpenStudy (ilovebmth1234):

awesome! thanks again <3

OpenStudy (ilovebmth1234):

i might need a little help later
