In a sample of 18-karat gold, 75 percent of the total mass is pure gold, while the rest is typically 16 percent silver and 9 per

cent copper. If the density of pure gold is rhogold=19.3g/cm3, while the densitites of silver and copper are respectively rhosilver=10.5g/cm3 and rhocopper=8.90g/cm3, what is the overall density rho18kt of this alloy of 18-karat gold?

Answer:

15.57 g/cm³

Explanation:

\rho_g = Density of gold = 19.3 g/cm³

\rho_s = Density of silver = 10.5 g/cm³

\rho_c = Density of copper = 8.9 g/cm³

Assuming total mass as 1000 g

Volume of gold

V_g=\frac{0.75\times 1000}{19.3}\\\Rightarrow V_g=38.86\ cm^3

Volume of silver

V_g=\frac{0.16\times 1000}{10.5}\\\Rightarrow V_g=15.238\ cm^3

Volume of copper

V_c=\frac{0.09\times 1000}{8.9}\\\Rightarrow V_c=10.11\ cm^3

Density of the alloy would be

\rho=\frac{M}{V_g+V_s+V_c}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\frac{1000}{38.86+15.238+10.11}\\\Rightarrow \rho=15.57\ g/cm^3

The overall density of this alloy is 15.57 g/cm³

A 6.5 l sample of nitrogen at 25◦c and 1.5 atm is allowed to expand to 13.0 l. the temperature remains constant. what is the fin
ollegr [7]
Since the temperature of the gas remains constant in the process, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas transformation at constant temperature, the product between the gas pressure and its volume is constant:
pV=k
which can also be rewritten as
p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2 (1)
where the labels 1 and 2 mark the initial and final conditions of the gas.

In our problem, p_1 = 1.5 atm, V_1 =6.5 L and V_2 =13.0 L, so the final pressure of the gas can be found by re-arranging eq.(1):
p_2 = p_1  \frac{V_1}{V_2}= (1.5 atm) \frac{6.5 L}{13.0 L}=0.75 atm

Therefore the correct answer is
<span>1. 0.75 atm</span>

Of the three primary forms of subaerial volcanoes, ________ are large cone-shaped mountains that consist of alternating layers o
Alborosie

Answer:

Strato-volcano

Explanation:

Strato-volcanoes are usually characterized by the presence of steep-sided slopes, with distinct craters, and are frequently erupted and conical in appearance. This type of volcano is generally felsic in nature. Due to the presence of high silica content, the magma being highly viscous, moves at a relatively slower rate. These are highly explosive and produce a large number of pyroclastic materials, lava flow, volcanic ashes, and gases.

They are also commonly considered as the composite volcano, and are comprised of alternating tephra and solidified lava layers.

stellarik [79]

Answer: Lever

Explanation: Levers are simple machines used to raise heavy loads over a short distance. It involves a beam which could be a plank, rood or metal material placed on a rigid support or pivot called the fulcrum, A Lever increases the the input force or effort applied to produce a greater output force required to move a heavy load. Levers are classed as first, second and third class Levers depending on the arrangement of the load, effort and fulcrum.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

she is pulling with 40 N force

Explanation:

The ring does not move means that the forces are equal.

Let's call Jo's force x

We have the quation

140 = x + 100

x = 40
