Density of Precious Metals
The density of precious metals is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. Precious metals, such as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, are known for their high density. The following table provides a list of density values for various precious metals at standard room temperature (approximately 20°C or 68°F) and 1 atmospheric (atm) pressure. (1 atm = 101,325 Pa)
