Question
Gold is alloyed with other metals to increase its hardness in making jewelry. You have a piece of jewelry containing only gold and silver, which have pure densities of 19.3 g/cm³ and 10.5 g/cm³ respectively. You measure the piece of jewelry's volume to be 1.25 cm³ and its mass to be 21.1 g. Assuming the total volume of the jewelry is the sum of the volumes of the gold and silver it contains, what is the mass percent of gold in the piece?

- A chemistry student needs 75.0 g of methyl acetate for an experiment. By consulting the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, the student discovers that -3 the density of methyl acetate is 0.934 g⋅cm¯³. Calculate the volume of methyl acetate the student should pour out. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. mL x10 X Śarrow_forwardA student is trying to determine some information about a metal sphere. He weighs a piece of metal sphere and it weighs 8.25g. When a student places it into a graduated cylinder containing water, the liquid levels rises from 6.25 mL to 10.47 mL. Part 1: What is the density of the metal sphere? Part 2: what is the radius of the metal sphere in mm?arrow_forwardSuppose you have two 100-mLmL graduated cylinders. In each cylinder, there is 44.0 mLmL of water. You also have two cubes: one is lead, and the other is aluminum. The density of lead and aluminum are 11.3 g/mLg/mL and 2.70 g/mLg/mL respectively. Each cube measures 3.0 cmcm on each side. After you carefully lower each cube into the water of its own cylinder, what will the new water level be in each of the cylinders? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.arrow_forward
- At 25.0 ºC the density of dichloromethane is 1.325 x 103 kg / m3. If 10.0g of dichloromethane at 25.0ºC can completely fill a container, what is the maximum mass of water, in grams, that can be added to the same container at 25.0°C?arrow_forwardDensity = Mass /volume 63.7410g/ 6.336 cm^3 is this right ?arrow_forwardPheromones are compounds secreted by females of many insect species to attract mates. Typically, 1.00 × 10−8 g of a pheromone is sufficient to reach all targeted males within a radius of 0.500 mi. Calculate the density of the pheromone (in grams per liter) in a cylindrical air space having a radius of 0.500 mi and a height of 46.0 ft (volume of a cylinder of radius r and height h is πr2h). Enter your answer in scientific notation.arrow_forward
- A brick of a certain metal has area on top of 3.54 cm x 6.93 cm. It has mass 921 g. How high is the brick in cm? The metal has density of 10.6 g/cm3 2.54 cm = 1 inch Ixhxw-V V- m/d You need to combine the above equations; this is a typical math skill you need in chemistry.arrow_forwardIn 1999, scientists discovered a new class of black holes with masses 100 to 10,000 times the mass of our sun, but occupying less space than our moon. Suppose that one of these black holes has a mass of 8×103 suns and a radius equal to one-half the radius of our moon. What is its density in grams per cubic centimeter? The mass of the sun is 2.0×1030kg and the radius of the moon is 2.16×103mi. (Volume of a sphere =43πr3.)arrow_forwardSince density depends on the mass and volume of an object, we need both of these values combined in the correct way to solve for density. Keep in mind that we may not be given the mass and volume directly, or the values may not be given in the units we want and we need to convert to the correct units before solving for density. When converting between metric units, use the prefixes to help you determine the magnitude of a value. The prefix k indicates kilo, 1000. Therefore 1000 g = 1 kg. A 17.0 kg iron weightlifting plate has a volume of 2160 cm³ . What is the density of the iron plate in g/cm³?
