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

Sample Response: The change in her position (from beginning to end), along with the direction, is considered her displacement. T
kykrilka [37]

The sample response given in the question is right.

To find the answer, we need to know more about the distance and displacement.

<h3>How distance differ from displacement?</h3>
  • Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final points of a body.
  • It is the change in position with a fixed direction.
  • Displacement is a vector quantity and can be positive, negative or zero values.
  • Distance is the length of actual path of the body between initial and final positions.
  • It's a scalar quantity and it can be positive or zero.
  • The magnitude of displacement is less than or equal to the distance travelled.

Thus, we can conclude that the given sample response is right.

Calculate the number of moles of magnesium, chlorine, and oxygen atoms in 5.90 moles of magnesium perchlorate, Mg(ClO4)2.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

5.90, 11.8, 47.2

Explanation:

Let’s remove the parentheses and write the formula as MgCl₂O₈.

We see that 1 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ contains 1 mol Mg atoms, 2 mol Cl atoms, and 8 mol O atoms.

∴ \text{Moles of Mg atoms} = \text{5.90 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2} \times \frac{\text{1 mol Mg atoms}} {\text{1 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2}} = \text{5.90 mol Mg atoms}  

\text{Moles of Cl atoms} = \text{5.90 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2} \times \frac{\text{2 mol Cl atoms}} {\text{1 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2}} = \text{11.8 mol Cl atoms}

\text{Moles of O atoms} = \text{5.90 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2} \times \frac{\text{8 mol O atoms}} {\text{1 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2}} = \text{47.2 mol O atoms}

∴ Mg, Cl, O = 5.90, 11.8, 47.2

Which of the following observations would indicate that a material is a pure substance?
Ira Lisetskai [31]
<span>The answer to the question is the option C. it cannot be physically broken down into different types of atoms. This means that the material is an element, which is a pure substance. Because an element is a pure substance that is formed by one only type of atoms. For example, gold is an element and all its atoms are of the same type. That is also true for any of the 118 elements of the periodic table. Compounds (other kind of pure substances) can be broken down into molecules (which contain different kind of atoms, but always in the same proportion) and mixtures (non pure substances) have different kind of substances.</span>
