A bar of gold with a mass of 2060.5 g has the following dimensions: 7.30 cm by 3.25 cm by 4.50 cm. Use this information to calculate the density of gold in g/mL. (Note: 1 cm3 = 1 mL)
ans: 19.299g/ml
To determine the density of sand, you put a graduated cylinder on an electronic scale and zero it. Then, you pour 7.50 mL of sand into the graduated cylinder. The scale reads 9.800 g. What is the density of the sand?
1.307g/ml
Assume the volume of the statue in the movie is 1.000 L. Use the density of gold to calculate the mass (in kg) of the statue.
19.299kg
In the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Indiana Jones replaces the golden statue with a bag of sand. Dr. Jones had to do some quick mental calculations to avoid springing a trap. As you complete this activity (using dimensional analysis and showing all work) you will decide if what you saw paralleled reality.

The density of osmium (the densest metal) is 22.57 g/cm3. If a 1.00-kg rectangular block of osmium has two dimensions of 4.00 cm × 4.00 cm. calculate the third dimension of the block.
1. A 25 mL flask is known to hold a total volume of 27.64 mL when completely filled. The empty flask has a mass of 45.897 grams. The student was to determine the density of an irregularly shaped solid. He added the solid to the flask and determined that the mass of the flask and the solid was 156.11 grams. He then filled the remaining volume of the flask with water and determined that the mass of the flask, water and solid was 171.89 grams. The density of the water was 0.9970 g/mL. Using this information answer the following questions: a) What was the mass of the solid? b) What was the mass of the water? c) What was the volume of water? d) What was the volume of the solid? e) What was the density of the solid?
