Question

Problem 3P

You buy a "gold" ring at a pawn shop. The ring has a mass of 0.014 g and a volume of 0.0022 cm3. Is the ring solid gold,?

Solution

Step 1 of 2:

We bought a gold ring from a pawn shop of mass m and the volume V. We are going to check the purity of the gold.

The mass of the ring m = 0.014 g = 1.4 x 10-5 kg

The volume of the ring V = 0.0022 cm3 = 2.2 x 10-9 m3

The standard density of gold ? = 19,300 kg/m3
