A piece of gold jewelry weighs 11.54 g and has a volume of 0.675 cm3. The jewelry contains only gold (density = 19.3 g/cm3) and

silver (density = 10.5 g/cm3). Assuming that the total volume of the jewelry is the sum of the volumes of the gold and silver that it contains, calculate the percentage of gold in the jewelry.

Answer:

Percentage of gold = 84.6%

Explanation:

Suppose the jewelry has x g of gold and y g of silver

The mass of both is the total mass of the jewelry then:

x + y = 11.54

And as the problem says the total volume is the sum of both volumes.

volume = mass / density

\frac{x}{19.3} + \frac{y}{10.5} = 0.675

Solving the system you get:

x = 9.764 g

y = 1.776 g

The percentage of gold in the jewelry is:

X_{gold} = \frac{9.764}{11.54} * 100 = 84.6\%

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

2,3–dimethylpentane

Explanation:

To know which option is correct, we shall determine the name of the compound.

To obtain the name of the compound, do the following:

1. Determine the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound.

2. Identify the substituent group attached to the compound.

3. Locate the position of the substituent group by giving it the lowest possible count.

4. Combine the above to obtain the name of the compound.

Now, we shall determine the name of the compound as follow:

1. The longest continuous carbon chain is 5. Thus, the parent name of the compound is pentane.

2. The substituent group attached is methyl (–CH₃)

3. There are two methyl group attached to the compound. One is located at carbon 2 and the other at carbon 3.

4. Therefore, the name of the compound is:

2,3–dimethylpentane

None of the options are correct.

Answer:

Explanation:

n CaCO3 = mass / m.wt

             = 500  /( 40 + 12 + 16x 3)

           =   5 mole

n CaO = 5 moles  ( from the balanced equation we have 1:1 moles )

mass of CaO = nCaO X m.wt

                       5 x(  40 +16 )

                 =   280 grams
