which has greater density pure gold bar or pure gold ring?

Answer 1

If they're both completely pure they're the same. Density is density no matter how the material is arranged.

Answer 2

Pure gold (24 Karat) is quite soft. Normally, other base metals like Copper, Silver, Zinc etc are added to make it harder. Thus 18 K gold has about 25 % silver.

Since for all practical purposes a gold ring will include other metals with lower density, a pure gold bar will have a higher density than a gold ring.

Answer 3

Density of a substance is equal to its mass per unit volume. Since a gold bar contains only gold, it will have more density than a gold ring which is primarily empty in the centre.
So. The density of gold bar is more.

Answer 4

a heavy bar of pure gold

Answer 5

If both are really pure gold, they have the same density. Most rings are not pure gold, however--they are usually max of 22ct, were 24ct = pure.

Answer 6

pure is pure. which weighs more, a pound of gold, or a pound of dog-crap.???
gold is cut with silver, 24 k is pure. mens ring are usually 10 k. half gold , makes it more durable, womens rings are 14k , more gold, less silver. so what is the question ???

Answer 7

Hmmmm...
I would ask yourself this question: is density an intrinsic quantity, that depends on the material (and things like temperature and pressure), or is it extrinsic/extensive, where it depends on a material's shape, how much of a material there is, and what environment the material is in.

Answer 8

Neither... unless one has been forged, in which case molecules would be more tightly packed together than in the other.

Answer 9

equal
