Answer:
29.0 g
Explanation:
The mass of the piece of gold is given by:
m = dV
where
m is the mass
d is the density
V is the volume of the piece of gold
The density of gold is
d = 19.3 g/cm^3
while the volume of the sample is equal to the volume of displaced water, so
V = 64.5 mL - 63.0 mL = 1.5 mL
And since
1 mL = 1 cm^3
the volume is
V = 1.5 cm^3
So the mass of the piece of gold is:
m = (19.3 g/cm^3)(1.5 cm^3)=29.0 g
