2) Water displacement is useful for determining the volume of insoluble samples. In field work, the density of a mineral-containing rock can be used to identify the mineral. Look up the densities for both gold and iron pyrite (aka fools gold). Which will displace more water a 5.0 g gold nugget or a 5.0 g sample of fools gold? Explain.
# 3) There are a 3cm x 3cm x 3cm cube of gold and a 3cm x 3cm x 3cm cube of aluminum. The density of
