GoldGold is almost twice as dense as lead! The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3 and the density of lead is only 11.34 g/cm3. For comparison the density of water is only 1 g/cm3.

No, lead and gold do not weigh the same. Gold is denser than lead, so an equal volume of gold will weigh more than an equal volume of lead.

No...

Lead isheavier (at a given volume)

Mass numbers Gold 79, Lead 82.

That means if you have 1 mole of Gold it'll weigh 79g etc.

Which has more volume -- a kilogram of gold or a kilogram of aluminum?

A kilogram of gold and a kilogram of aluminum have the same volume because they both weigh the same. Density is the property that determines how much space a substance occupies for a given mass, and because gold is denser than aluminum, a smaller volume of gold will weigh the same as aluminum.


If you melt 1 kg of lead will it still weigh the same as the original lump of lead?

Yes, the mass of the lead remains the same, so it will still weigh 1 kg. Melting lead changes its physical state from solid to liquid, but it does not change its mass.


What weighs more 1 pound of silver or 1 pound of gold?

A pound of gold weighs the same as a pound of silver, because they are both one pound. But a block of gold would weigh more than the same-sized block of silver (gold is more dense than silver, so a smaller volume weighs the same).


Which ways more a pound of feathers or a pound of iron?

They are the same. If you're asking about density, though, (how much matter is packed into a certain volume), you can test this by first dropping a pound of iron on your foot, followed by the feathers. An ounce of gold, however, does *not* weigh the same as an ounce of lead. Some research will show why....


Which has a greater mass a ton of lead or a ton of feathers?

Something that weighs a ton is equal to other things that weigh a ton, therefore a ton of anything is equal to a ton of anything else. Even if it's feathers versus lead or cotton versus cement.
