Gold is alloyed with other metals to increase its hardness in making jewelery.a) Consider a piece of gold jewelry the weighs 9.8

5g and has a volume of 0.675cm^3. The jewelery contains only gold and silver which have densities of 19.3g/cm^3 and 10.5g/cm^3. Assuming that the total volume of the jewelery is the sum if the volumes of the gold and silver that it contains, calculate the percentage of gold(by mass) of the jewelery.b) The relative amount of gold in an alloy is commonly expressed in units of karats. Pure gold is 24 karats,and the percentage of gold in an alloy is given as the percentage of this value. For example: an alloy that is 50 percent gold is 12 karats. State the purity of the gold jewelery in karats.

Answer:

A). Percentage of gold by mass of the jewellery =

(6.059÷9.85) × 100 = 61.5%

B). Purity of the gold = 0.615 × 24 = 14.76 karat ~ 15 karat gold

Explanation:

Mass of jewellery = 9.85g Volume of jewellery = 0.675cm^3.

Density of gold = 19.3g/cm^3 and density of silver = 10.5g/cm^3

Let the volume of gold in the jewellery be X and the volume of silver in the jewellery be Y

Hence we have

Density = mass/volume or mass = volume × density = for gold = X × 19.3g/cm^3 and for the silver = Y × 10.5g/cm^3

19.3X +10.5Y = 9.85g

Also volume of jewellery is given by

Volume of silver in the jewellery + volume of gold in the jewellery = 0.675cm^3.

X + Y = 0.675cm^3.

Solving the above equations we have

Y = 0.675 - X

Which gives

19.3X + 10.5Y = 9.85g

19.3X + 10.5 × (0.675 - X) =9.85g

19.3X + 7.0875 - 10.5X = 9.85

8.8X + 7.0875 = 9.85

8.8X = 2.7625

or X = 0.3139 cm^3

But Y = 0.675 - X

Hence Y = 0.675 - 0.3139 = 0.3611 cm^3

Mass of gold in the jewellery = volume of gold × Density of gold = 0.3139 × 19.3 = 6.059 g

Also mass of silver = 10.5 × 0.3611 = 3.7913g

A). Percentage of gold by mass of the jewellery =

(6.059÷9.85) × 100 = 61.5%

B). Purity of the gold = 0.615 × 24 = 14.76 karat ~ 15 karat gold

A 25.0 L tank of nitrogen gas is at 25 oC and 2.05 atm . If the temperature stays at 25 oC and the volume is decreased to 14.5 L
NeTakaya

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf P_2 \approx 3.53 \ atm}}

Explanation:

In this problem, the temperature stays constant. The volume and pressure change, so we use Boyle's Law. This states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume. The formula is:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

Now we can substitute any known values into the formula.

Originally, the gas has a volume of 25.0 liters and a pressure of 2.05 atmospheres.

25.0 \ L * 2.05 \ atm = P_2V_2

The volume is decreased to 14.5 liters, but the pressure is unknown.

25.0 \ L * 2.05 \ atm = P_2 * 14.5 \ L

Since we are solving for the new pressure, or P₂, we must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 14.5 liters and the inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 14.5 L .

\frac {25.0 \ L * 2.05 \ atm }{14.5 \ L}=\frac{P_2 *14.5 \ L}{14.5 \ L}

\frac {25.0 \ L * 2.05 \ atm }{14.5 \ L}= P_2

The units of liters cancel.

\frac {25.0  * 2.05 \ atm }{14.5 }=P_2

\frac {50.25\  atm }{14.5 }=P_2

3.53448276 \ atm = P_2

The original values of volume and pressure have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same.

For the number we found, that is the hundredth place.

  • 3.53448276

The 4 in the thousandth place (in bold above) tells us to leave the 3 in the hundredth place.

3.53 \ atm \approx P_2

The new pressure is approximately <u>3.53 atmospheres.</u>

The masses of four objects are given in this table. If all of the objects have the same acceleration, which will require the gre
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Object 4 in the example

Explanation:

For simplicity and a clearer view of this problem, let's assume that four masses from 1 to 4 have the the masses 2 kg, 4 kg, 6 kg, 8 kg respectively.

According to the second Newton's law, we know that force is directly proportional to both mass and acceleration. The equation representing this is F = ma.

Notice that all of them have the same acceleration. This means, the greater the mass, the greater the force for a fixed acceleration. Simply speaking, the forces for each of the objects would be 2a, 4a, 6a and 8a respectively.

Since we're interested in the magnitude of the force and not direction, we neglect whether acceleration is positive or negative. This means that object 4 will require the greatest force to move, as it has the greatest mass.
