The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3. a piece of gold displaces 2 ml of water. the specific gravity of gold is: a.19.3 b.38.6 c.9.6 d.0.10

A) 19.3

Explanation:

As we know that specific gravity is defined as the ratio of weight of the object and weight of the water displaced by the object

so it is given by

now we have

weight of the object = (density)(volume)g

weight of object =

now weight of the liquid displaced is given by

weight of water displaced =

now we have

specific gravity =

specific gravity = 19.3

i think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option c. when the kinetic energy of particles in a liquid state decreases
