Question
- raisonner. l’or est un métal très dense avec une densité de 19,32g/cm³. l’aluminium est aussi un métal dont la densité est très faible, soit 2,7g/cm³. réponds à chaque question ci - dessous avec une explication simple. *ne fais pas de calculs. (a) lequel est plus lourd: 1g d’or ou 1g d’aluminium? expliquer. (b) lequel est plus lourd: 50cm³ d’or ou 50cm³ d’aluminium? expliquer. (c) lequel a un plus grand volume: 100cm³ d’or ou 100cm³ d’aluminium? expl (d) lequel a un plus grand volume: 300g d’or ou 300g d’aluminium? expliquer
(a)
The mass of both 1 g of gold and 1 g of aluminum is 1 gram. By the definition of mass (the amount of matter), if two objects have the same mass value, they weigh the same.
Density is defined as mass per unit volume ($
ho=\frac{m}{V}$). For a given volume ($V = 50\space cm^3$), the mass $m=
ho\times V$. Since the density of gold ($19.32\space g/cm^3$) is greater than the density of aluminum ($2.7\space g/cm^3$), when we multiply the same volume (50 $cm^3$) by their respective densities, the mass of gold will be greater (because a larger density multiplied by the same volume gives a larger mass).
The volume of both 100 $cm^3$ of gold and 100 $cm^3$ of aluminum is given as 100 $cm^3$. By the definition of volume (the amount of space an object occupies), if two objects have the same volume value, their volumes are equal.

1 g of gold and 1 g of aluminum weigh the same because their masses are both 1 g.
