You find a gold rock in a stream up in Idaho City. The Rock has a mass of .345 kg. The object is irregular in shape so it is placed in a graduated cylinder that has 35 mL of water in it. The water level now reads 104 mL. did you find a gold nugget (19.3g/cm3) or just a piece of pyrite(5 g/cm3)? 1 cm3 = 1 mL
19.3 kg/mL, Gold
19.3 g/mL, Gold
5.0 kg/mL, Pyrite
5.0 g/cm3, Pyrite
