Question

The density of an element is 19.3 g/cm^3. What is its density in kg/m^3?

Answer 1

1.93

Answer 2

That is what I got. I might have done something wrong.

Answer 3

That's fine.

Answer 4

It's counting it wrong saying to cube the cm to m conversion so the units will cancel. Any idea what I could be doing wrong there?

Answer 5

I multiplied the 19.3 by .10

Answer 6

It's saying "You forgot to cube the cm to m conversion factor to makes the units cancel properly", it's an online site called Connect. It lets you got and check your answers.

Answer 7

That's what I'm thinking but it is refusing to take the answer.

Answer 8

fun fact - 19.3 is Au, aka gold

Answer 9

Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong with this problem?

Answer 10

bro. Gold is a lot heavier than 1.93 kilos per cubic meter

Answer 11

19.3 g/cm^3 * 1kg/1000g*(100cm/1m)^3

Answer 12

100 cm^3 != 1m^3
(100)^3 cm^3 = 1 m^3

Answer 13

a cubic meter of gold is going to be 19300 kilograms.

Answer 14

metals are heavy, and gold is EXTREMELY heavy.

Answer 16

and by heavy I mean dense...

Answer 17

So it would be 19,300

Answer 18

mmhmm

Answer 19

Thanks

Answer 20

it makes no sense for a cubic meter of gold to weigh 1.93 kg... you should always check your answers. 1.93 kg is around 4.25 pounds. a cubic meter is a box 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet. Do you really think a solid metal box 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet would weigh only 4.25 pounds?

Answer 21

the answer is no, it will weigh much more than 4.25 *tons* if it is gold

Answer 22

the number you came up with, fyi, is approximately the density of certain *gases*

Answer 23

air has a density of around 1.2kg/m^3

Answer 24

Oh okay

Answer 25

Comparing the weights makes it make more sense.

Answer 26

Thanks for the help.
