Answer

Here's how to calculate the density of gold:<br /><br />1. **Calculate the volume of the gold block:**<br /><br />Volume = length × width × height<br />Volume = 2.0 cm × 2.0 cm × 3.0 cm<br />Volume = 12.0 cm³<br /><br />2. **Calculate the density:**<br /><br />Density = mass / volume<br />Density = 231.6 g / 12.0 cm³<br />Density = 19.3 g/cm³<br /><br />Therefore, the correct answer is $\boxed{19.3 \, g/cm^3}$.<br />
