Alicia’s cheapskate boyfriend gave her a ring he claims is pure gold. Alicia is skeptical. After class the next day, she measures the mass of the ring, finds the volume of the ring by water displacement, and then calculates the density of the ring. Should she treasure the ring as his first truly generous gift to her, or throw it at him the next time he walks by? The density of gold is 19.3 g/mL. Defend your answer. DATA: Mass: g Final volume: 43.7 mL Initial volume: 42.2 mL Volume of ring: __________ Density: __________
