Answer: 16.791 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to find mass we use here is :
\(\text{Mass}=\text{Density}\times\text{Volume}\)
Given : A small gold nugget has volume of \(0.87\ cm^3\)
The density of the gold is \(19.3\ g/cm^3\)
Then, the mass of gold nugget is given by :-
\(\text{Mass}=19.3\times0.87=16.791
\text{ grams}\)
Hence, the mass of gold nugget = 16.791 grams
