You have a piece of gold jewelry that weighs 9 g. Its volume is 0.74 cm3 Assume that the metal is an alloy (a mixture of solids) of gold and silver, which have densities of 19 g/cm3 and 10 g/cm3 respectively. Also assum that there is no change in volume when the pure metals are mixed. The relative amount of gold in an alloy is measured in karats. Pure gold is 24 karats; an alloy of 50% gold is 12 carats. State the proportion of gold in the jewelry in karats.
The mass of one atom or molecule of a substance is given in atomic mass units, also called Daltons (abbreviated D or Da). Thus one molecule of water has a mass of
18.015 atomic mass units, or 18.015 Daltons. The atomic mass unit is defined such that one mole of water weighs 18.015 g. Suppose a protein has a mass of 64 192
Daltons (or 64.192 kDa). What would be the mass of one mole of this protein?
O A. A protein of 64 192 Da has a molar mass of 3.866 x 1028 g/mol.
B. A protein of 64 192 Da has a molar mass of 1.0 g/mol.
C. A protein of 64 192 Da has a molar mass of 18.015 g/mol.
D. A protein of 64 192 Da has a molar mass of 64.192 g/mol.
E. This question can't be answered without knowing the number of atoms in the protein.
F. A protein of 64 192 Da has a molar mass of 6.4192 x 10-2 g/mol.
G. A protein of 64 192 Da has a molar mass of 3.866 x 1025 g/mol.
H. A protein of 64 192 Da has a molar mass of 64 192 g/mol.
PART 2
Density of Gravel
The mass of the empty weighing boat was measured. Then the weighing boat was filled with gravel,
and the mass of the weighing boat and the gravel was measured.
Mass of weighing boat = 0.98 g
Mass of weighing boat and gravel = 58.98 g
We are interested in the mass of the gravel.
(a) Gravel is matter. Why?
(b) What is the name of this method of measurement of mass of a substance?
(c) What is the other method of measurement of mass of a substance?
(d) What type of balance are we using in this experiment?
(e) Calculate the mass of the sample of gravel.

- Two beakers contain clear, colorless liquids. When the contents of the beakers are mixed, a white solid is formed. (a) Is this an example of a chemical or a physical change? (b) What would be the most convenient way to separate the newly formed white solid from the liquid mixture— filtration, distillation, or chromatography. Elaborate your answer.arrow_forwardUsing Two or More Conversion FactorsIt is often necessary to use several conversion factors in solving a problem. As an example,let’s convert the length of an 8.00-m rod to inches. The table on the back inside coverdoes not give the relationship between meters and inches. It does, however, give the relationshipbetween centimeters and inches 11 in. = 2.54 cm2. From our knowledge of SIprefixes, we know that 1 cm = 10-2 m. Thus, we can convert step by step, first from metersto centimeters and then from centimeters to inches:arrow_forwardSuppose the densities of two metals are so close together that density is difficult to use to be able to distinguish them within the margin of error (a good example would be zinc and tin).
