Weight doesn't tell you the volume. One pound of air, one pound of water, and one pound of gold all have vastly different volumes.
If you want to determine the density of an object, you would measure the mass and volume, then divide mass/volume to determine density. This can help determine the composition of the object. For example, if you find a rock that looks like a gold nugget. The density of gold is a known value, so one of the tests in determining if you are holding real gold would be to determine the density of your rock. This is one example. Another (maybe more 'real world' for you). Shipping and cargo companies measure the volume of packages as they go by on the conveyor belt, so that they can figure how many will fit in a particular truck.
It is impossible to answer the question since there are no units given. Volume of 10 what? The density of gold is 19.3 gcm-3 which may imply that the volume is given in SI units, but that could be cubic metres, cubic centimetres or cubic micrometres.
Assuming the gold nugget is solid and pure (unlikely in real life!) The volume of the nugget is 77.0 - 50.0 mL = 27.0 mL So density = mass/volume = 521/27.0 = 19.3 g per mL.

Gold has millions of uses
6.0*10^12 gram
The volume increase will be equal to the volume of the gold submerged in the water. The volume of the gold can be calculated by dividing its mass by its density (19.32 g/cm³ for gold). Submerging the gold in water will displace an equal volume of water, resulting in the measured volume increase.
To calculate the mass and volume of gold, we need to know either the mass or the volume specifically. Given the density of 19.3 g/cm3, if you have the volume of gold, you can calculate the mass by multiplying the volume by the density. If you know the mass, you can calculate the volume by dividing the mass by the density.
The California Gold Rush attracted prospectors from all over the world.
According to the world gold council a total of 165 000 tonnes of gold have been mined in the whole of human history, up until 2009. This has a volume of 8500m3, this woul form a cube with sides of 20.4 metres.
Gold is heavier than silver. Gold has a higher density than silver, which means that a specific volume of gold will weigh more than the same volume of silver.
The specific volume of gold is around 0.001 m³/kg at room temperature and pressure. This means that 1 kilogram of gold occupies 0.001 cubic meters of space.
The volume of the gold nugget can be calculated by finding the difference in volume before and after adding the nugget. The volume of the gold nugget is 225 mL (final volume) - 85 mL (initial volume) = 140 mL.
all over the world
yes it is because they have all the gold in the world
Gold is heavier than silver. Gold has a higher density than silver, meaning that a given volume of gold weighs more than the same volume of silver.
