Red gold is a gold-copper alloy used to make jewelry. A piece of jewelry made of red gold weighs 8.50 g and has a volume of
0.535 cm. Gold has a density of 19.3 g/cm² and copper has a density of 8.96 g/cm'. 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.
gold:
copper.
Pure gold is defined as having 24 carats. When mixed in an alloy, the carats of gold are given as a percentage of this value. For
example, a piece of jewelry made with 50% gold has 12 carats. State the purity of this piece of red gold jewelry in carats.
purity:
carats

- INTERACTIVE EXAMPLE Determining Density At a local pawn shop a student finds a medallion that the shop owner insists is pure platinum. However, the student suspects that the medallion may actually be silver or aluminum, which are much less valuable. The student buys the medallion only after the shop owner agrees to refund the price if the medallion is returned within two days. The student, a chemistry major, then takes the medallion to her lab and measures its density as follows. She first weighs the medallion and finds its mass to be 55.64 g. She then places some water in a graduated cylinder and reads the volume as 75.2 mL. Next she drops the medallion into the cylinder and reads the new volume as 77.8 mL. Is the medallion platinum (density = 21.4 g/cm3), silver (density = 10.5 g/cm³), or aluminum (density = 2.70 g/cm³)? HOW DO WE GET THERE? Determine the density of the medallion.
