What is the mass in grams Of a brass cylinder having a length of 1.62 in. and a diameter of 0.514 in. if the composition of the brass is 67.0% copper and 33.0% zinc by mass? The density Of copper is 8.92 g/cm3, and the density Of zinc is 7.14 g/cm3. Assume that the density of the brass varies linearly with composition.

A mineral contains 5.032 % of a precious metal, by mass. The precious metal as a density of 3.681 g/cm³.
What volume of the precious metal, in cm3, can be obtained from 528.0 grams of the mineral?
Red gold is a gold‑copper alloy used to make jewelry. A piece of jewelry made of red gold weighs 8.85 g8.85 g and has a volume of 0.545 cm30.545 cm3. Gold has a density of 19.3 g/cm319.3 g/cm3 and copper has a density of 8.96 g/cm38.96 g/cm3. Calculate the percentage by mass of each metal in the jewelry. Assume the total volume of the jewelry is the sum of the volumes of the two metals it contains.
At one point in time, the price of gold was about $1400 per ounce, while that of silver was about $20 an ounce. The "ounce" in this case is the troy ounce, which is equal to 31.1035 gg. (The more familiar avoirdupois ounce is equal to 28.35 g.) The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3g/cm3 and that of silver is 10.5 g/cm3.
If you found a spherical gold nugget worth $3.00 million, what would be its diameter?
How much would a silver nugget of that size be worth?

- 1f a piece of hard, white blackboard chalk is heated strongly in a flame, the mass of the piece of chalk will decrease, and eventually the chalk will crumble into a white dust. Does this change suggest that the chalk is composed of an element or a compound?arrow_forwardOn October 21, 1982, the Bureau of the Mint changed the composition of pennies (see Exercise 120). Instead of an alloy of 95% Cu and 5% Zn by mass, a core of 99.2% Zn and 0.8% Cu with a thin shell of copper was adopted. The overall composition of the new penny was 97.6% Zn and 2.4% Cu by mass. Does this account for the difference in mass among die pennies in Exercise 120? Assume the volume of the individual metals that make up each penny can be added together to give the overall volume of the penny, and assume each penny is the same size. (Density of Cu = 8.96 g/cm3; density of Zn = 7.14 g/cm3).arrow_forwardGold leaf, which is used for many decorative purposes, is made by hammering pure gold into very thin sheets.
