The relative density of pure gold is 19.3. When an ornament made of gold is immersed completely in water, the volume of the water displaced is 5 ml. If the mass of the ornament in air is 100 g, determine whether the ornament is made of pure gold.

Explanation

density = m/v
density= mass/(Volume ofliquid displaced)
If the ornament is made of pure gold, the density of the ornament must be equal to the density of gold.
