Help with a chemistry problem!! please??

Question

two boxes have the following demintions:

length: 14 inches

width: 10 inches

height" 6 incehs

THE DENSITY OG GOLD IS 19.3 g/cm cubed

DETERMINE THE MASS OF THE -----> 2 <----- SHOE BOXES FULL OF GOLD.....

explain your answer..

I GO T THE ANSWER OF: 1377.4166 cm cubed

IS IT CORRECT??

Answer 1

First calculate the volume of the box, then multiple volume by the density of gold to get the mass of gold in 1 box. Then double it to get mass of gold in 2 boxes...

L = 14 in = 14*2.54 cm = 35.56 cm

W = 10 in = 10*2.54 cm = 25.40 cm

H = 6 in =   6*2.54 cm = 15.24 cm

Volume of 1 box = L*W*H = 13,765.13 cm^3

Mass of gold in 1 box = 13,765.13*19.3 g = 265,667.01 g

Mass of gold in 2 boxes = 531,334.02 g = 531.334 Kg

Did this make sense? good luck!

Answer 2

1377.4166 cm cubed isn&#039;t the mass, its the volume.

multiply 14*10*6*2 to get the total amount of cm cubes.1680/x=1/19.3. Solve for x.

32424 grams.
