A student is determining the density of an unknown metal with a
mass of 87.8 g. The student partially fills a graduated cylinder with
water and measures the volume of the water by itself as 54.8 mL.
The student then adds the metal to the water and measures the
new volume as 87.3 mL. What is the density, in g/mL, of the metal?
In 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 1×10^3 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 2.0×10^30 kg and the radius of the moon is 2.16×10^3 mi (Volume of a sphere =4/3πr^3)
Red gold is a gold-copper alloy used to make jewelry. A piece of jewelry made of red gold weighs 9.80 g and has a volume of
0.583 cm³. 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.

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.
