A student determined the mass and volume of a gold ring. What physical property of the gold can be determined using these two measurements?

Question

its reactivity

its expansion rate

its density

its melting point

Answer 1

The physical property that can be determined using the mass and volume measurements of a gold ring is its density. Density is defined as the mass of an object divided by its volume. Therefore, by dividing the mass of the gold ring by its volume, the density of the gold can be determined.
