Answer
Here's how to calculate the density of gold:1. **Calculate the volume of the gold block:**Volume = length × width × heightVolume = 2.0 cm × 2.0 cm × 3.0 cmVolume = 12.0 cm³2. **Calculate the density:**Density = mass / volumeDensity = 231.6 g / 12.0 cm³Density = 19.3 g/cm³Therefore, the correct answer is
