Density of gold = 19.3 g/mL

Density can be calculated from volume and mass of a substance as follows,

[tex]Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}[/tex]

Given the volume of gold nugget = 5.40 mL

Calculating the mass of gold nugget from density and volume:

[tex]Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}[/tex]

[tex]Mass = Density * Volume[/tex]

[tex]5.40 mL * 19.3 \frac{g}{mL} =104.22 g[/tex]

Therefore, the mass of the nugget is 104.22 g
