which takes up more space a kg of solid gold or a kgof liquid gold?

Answer 1

I agree with everyone's answer, but what about this???
What if I have a kg of solid gold that is flattened and shaped into a box where the volume of the solid gold box is greater than the volume of kg liquid gold? The solid gold will then technically occupy more space.
The question depends on the reference point of "space"

Answer 2

As you heat up gold from room temperature to just below the melting point it should expand all the way. There is no reason to believe it would shrink while melting. Of course, if the shape of the cold gold is irregular, melting it should allow it to occupy a minimum volume (space?). Water is one of the few (only?) liquids that is less dense solid than when liquid; ice floats. Some alloys (antimony) used as type also expand when cooled to solid which makes for sharper print.

Answer 3

All solids (except water) are more dense than their parent liquids, so liquid gold takes up more space.

Answer 4

the volume of almost every substance increase when it is heated (except water). Gold is one of them. So the liquid gold takes up more space.

Answer 5

Mass is the key and solid gold would have more mass than liquid

Answer 6

Lancenigo di Villorba (TV), Italy

Several chemical stuffs expand their Occupied Volume during its melting.
They exist some exceptions, e.g. Water and Bismuth and some other ones.
In this fashion, my answer is :"MOLTEN GOLD TAKES UP MORE SPACE THAN SOLID ONE".

I hope helps you.

Answer 7

liquid gold take up more space...coz d atom between d solid gold is more closer...compact to each other more closely....
