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 0.583 cm. Gold has a density of 19.3 g/cm³ and copper has a density of 8.96 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.

- John Snow, an English physician, has observed that disease is becoming more prevalent in a local neighborhood and he wants to know why. He collects information about the local people, including how many family members contracted the disease and where they live. John discovers that the disease is most common in homes located closest to the town’s water pump. John contrives an explanation: that the illness is waterborne and people are contracting the disease from water they retrieve from the town’s water pump. After petitioning the authorities, the handle at the pump is removed. John collects data about disease incidence and finds that occurrence of the disease is greatly reduced. John concludes that the water from the pump was causing the illness. What step(s) of the scientific method is/are missing from Data Table 1? Describe each and propose a way that they might be fulfilled in the scenario?arrow_forwardHere is a simple example. The inhabitants of a small island begin exporting beautiful cloth made from a rare plant that grows only on their island. Seeing how popular the small quantity that they export has been, they steadily raise their prices. A clothing maker from New York, thinking that he can save money by "cutting out the middleman," decides to travel to the small island and buy the cloth himself. Ignorant of the local custom of offering strangers outrageous prices and then negotiating down, the clothing maker accepts (much to everyone's surpise) the initial price of 400 tepizes/m². The price of this cloth in New York is 120 dollars/yard². Part A If the clothing maker bought 500 m² of this fabric, how much money did he lose? Use 1 tepiz = 0.625 dollar and 0.9144 m = 1 yard.
