The density of the gold is 19.3g/cm3. the density of the iron pyrite is 5.0 g/cm3. if a night of iron pyrite and nugget of gold each have a mass of 50g what you can conclude about the volumen of each nugget ? i don’t get it

If both nuggets have the same mass and different densities then it can be concluded that the volume with the highest density is smaller.

For, so to speak, density is a relation of how much mass is there in a given volume. So the more the mass and the smaller the volume, the greater the density.

To verify this, let us calculate the volumes of iron pyrite and gold pyrite.

For the iron pyrite nugget:

density = mass / volume

volume = mass / density

volume = 50/5

volume = 10cm3

For the gold nugget:

volume = mass / density

volume = 50 / 19.3

volume = 2.59cm3

Therefore it is found that the nugget with the highest density (gold) is the one with the lowest volume.
