Is the density of gold pure?

Answer 1

Gold and Silver at their purest have a very specific measurement of density. When measuring the density of a piece of metal if it is more or less than the pure level of density then it is not pure.

Answer 2

Yes, the density of pure gold is a well-known physical property, which is approximately 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter. This density value is often used to confirm the purity of gold objects through measurement.

Answer 3

The formula for density is

D = M/V

where D = density, M = mass, and V = volume

If you had, say, 12 grams of gold, and it occupied 5 mL, the density would then be:

D = M/V

D = 12 g / 5 mL

D = 2.4 g/mL

Answer 4

The density of gold is about 19 g/cm3, or 19,000 kg/m3.
