Finding the number of grams of gold in a solid sphere?

34 Views Asked by At

I am trying to solve a question from Leaving Cert. Ordinary Level Maths 2018 Paper 2.

A solid sphere is made of gold.

It has a volume of $0.113$cm$^3$.

Each cm$^3$ of pure gold weighs $19.3$ grams.

I am trying to find the number of grams of pure gold in the sphere.

The marking scheme says I am to multiply $0.113$cm$^3$ by $19.3$ grams, but I don't understand why.

The answer is "$2.18$". I am assuming this is $2.18$ grams / cm$^3$.

Does this mean that there are $2.18$ grams of gold per cm$^3$ of the sphere?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Alana

The question says -

Each cm$^3$ of pure gold weighs $19.3$ grams.

This is just another way of saying that the sphere's gold content is $19.3$ g / cm$^3$.

The question wants you to find the mass of pure gold in the sphere ($0.113$ cm$^3$) in grams. So you multiply the mass per unit volume ($19.3$ g / cm$^3$) and the volume ($0.113$ cm$^3$) together. Your answer would be

$$\frac{19.3 \text{ g}}{\text{cm}^3} \times 0.113 \text{ cm}^3 \approx 2.18 \text{ g}$$

As you can see the two instances of "cm$^3$" cancel out and we are left with grams only.
