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

If 36.2g of Acetic Acid (HC2H302) was dissolved in 300. mL of water, what is the
uysha [10]

Answer:

2.01 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the moles of acetic acid (HC₂H₃O₂)

The molar mass of acetic acid is 60.05 g/mol. We will use this data to calculate the moles corresponding to 36.2 g of acetic acid.

36.2g \times \frac{1mol}{60.05g} = 0.603mol

Step 2: Convert the volume of solution to liters

We will use the relation 1000 mL = 1 L. We assume that the volume of solution is that of water (300 mL)

300mL \times \frac{1L}{1000mL} = 0.300L

Step 3: Calculate the molarity of the solution

The molarity is equal to the moles of solute (acetic acid) divided by the liters of solution

M = \frac{0.603mol}{0.300L} = 2.01 M

Regarding the Lyman series of hydrogen, calculate the frequency of the n = 5 line.
zvonat [6]
The Lyman series can be expressed in the formula <span><span>1/λ</span>=<span>RH</span><span>(1−<span>1/<span>n2</span></span>) where </span><span><span>RH</span>=1.0968×<span>107</span><span>m<span>−1</span></span>=<span><span>13.6eV</span><span>hc

</span></span></span></span>Where n is a natural number greater than or equal to 2 (i.e. n = 2,3,4,...). Therefore, the lines seen in the image above are the wavelengths corresponding to n=2 on the right, to n=∞on the left (there are infinitely many spectral lines, but they become very dense as they approach to n=∞<span> (Lyman limit), so only some of the first lines and the last one appear).
 The wavelengths (nm) in the Lyman series are all ultraviolet
:2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
 Wavelength (nm) 121.6 102.6 97.3 95 93.8 93.1 92.6 92.3 92.1 91.9 91.18 (Lyman limit)
In your case for the n=5 line you have to replace "n" in the above formula for 5 and you should get a value of 95 x 10^-9 m for the wavelength. then you have to use the other equation that convert wavelength to frequency. </span>
