Atoms of an element that contain different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Each isotope of a given element has thesame atomic number but a different mass number (A), which is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons.

Answer:

(a) $m_{gold}=7.322g$

(b)

$V_{gold}=0.379cm^3$

$V_{copper}=0.122cm^3$

Explanation:

Hello,

(a) In this case, with the given formula we easily compute the mass of gold contained in the sovereign as shown below:

$m_{gold}=\frac{m_{tota}*karats}{24}=\frac{7.988g*22}{24}=7.322g$

(b) Now, by knowing the density of gold and copper, 19.32 and 8.94 g/cm³ respectively, we compute each volume, by also knowing that the rest of the coin contains copper:

$V_{gold}=\frac{m_{gold}}{\rho_{gold}} =\frac{7.322g}{19.32g/cm^3}=0.379cm^3$
