Which would have a greater mass, 10cm3 of silver or 10 cm3 of gold

Question

Hello how your doing

Answer 1

Since they both have the same volume, the one with greater density has higher mass.  Recall mass = density x volume.

 

Look up their densities in chemistry tables and find that gold has a density of 19.30 g/cc while silver has a density of 10.49 g/cc.  For the same volume, gold is more massive than silver.
