Which has the greater density—a heavy bar of pure gold or a pure gold ring?
The greater density out of a heavy bar of pure gold or a pure ring.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Density is the property of solid, liquid and gases substance which measures how tightly the material is packed. Density is the ratio of amount of mass per unit volume.
Density depend on the mass and the spacing between the atoms.
The pure gold ring and heavy bar of pure gold has same density since for both, mass per unit volume is same.
Conclusion:
Heavy bar of pure gold and a pure gold ring have same density.
