Answer:
- 39.7%
Explanation:
<u />
<u>1. First find the density of your chain</u>
- Density = mass / volume
- Volume = displaced water volume
= Volume of Final level of water - initial level of water
= 20 ml - 15 ml = 5 ml
- Mass = 66.7 g
- Density = 66.7g / 5 ml = 13.34 g/ml
<u />
<u>2. Second, write the denisty of the chain as the weighted average of the densities of the other metals:</u>
Mass of gold × density of gold + mass of other metals × density of other metals, all divided by the mass of the chain.
Calling x the amount of gold, then the amount of other metals is 66.7 - x:
Then, there are 26.47 grams of gold in 66.7 grams of chain, which yields a percentage of:
- (26.47 / 66.7) × 100 = 39.7%
