Most of the metals we use are alloys. The utility of alloys have been appreciated since humanity began using metals for tools. For instance, tin and copper, as the (reasonably) pure , are soft and do not tend to keep an edge. Make an alloy of tin and copper (approx 10-15% tin) , and you get bronze, an alloy with excellent hardness and tool-making properties.

Mix quantities of iron and carbon and other metals and you get an even better tool making alloy; stainless steel is a modern example. All of this is the province of the metallurgist; we must have had some good ones in our technological history.

An 18 karat gold bracelet has a mass of 56.18 g. 1 troy ounce of pure gold is 31.03 g. What is the value of the bracelet in US dollars?

Your bracelet is worth $1692.00. Given: 1 ozt = 31.103 g From this equality, there are two conversion factors: $(1 "ozt")/(31.03 "g")$ and $(31.03 "g")/(1 "ozt")$. These conversion factors are...

How could you use density to show that a gold bracelet contains elements other than gold?

You measure the weight and volume and if the calculated density is not $19.30 gcm^-3$, you have lighter added, or holes in the bracelet-

Natasha's mother gave her a solid gold necklace. She determines the chain has a mass of $7.6$ $g$. The density of pure gold is $19.3$ $g$$/$$cm^3$. About how much gold was used to make her necklace?

Assuming that the neckless is made from $"24K"$, $24$ karat gold, i. e. gold that is $99.9%$ pure, you can solve this problem by using the mass of the neckless...

If gold is selling for 675 dollars an ounce, what is the value of 1.00 $i n^3$ of pure gold given that the density of gold is 19.3 $g/(cm^3)$?

1 in $ = 2.54 cm$ 1 in^3 $= 2.54xx2.54xx2.54 cm^3 = 16.387 cm^3$ $16.387xx19.3=316.2691 grams$ $1 ounce =28.3495 grams$ $316.2691/28.3495=11.156 ounce$ $value =11.156xx675=7530.3 dollars$

Archermedes was commissioned to determine if the crown given to the king was pure gold or not. If the crown had a mass of 882 grams and displaced 50.0 mL of water, was the crown pure gold?

Gold has a , $rho=19.3*g*mL^-1,$ which is approx. 20 times as much water. The density of the gold crown (given to the tyrant of Syracuse, not the king), was...

A gold colored ring has a mass of 18.9 grams and a volume of 1.12 mL. Is the ring pure gold?

d = $m/v$ First fill in the m and v $(18.9g)/(1.12mL)$ Then, divide $(18.9g)/(1.12mL) = 16.88 g//mL$ Thus, making the ring not pure.

A 5.0 g sample of a pure compound containing H, C, and N contains .19 g of H and 2.22 g of C. Another smaller sample of this pure compound is analyzed. How many grams of N should be found in the new 2.0 g pure sample?

The idea here is that you need to use the amount of hydrogen and the amount of carbon found in the $"5.0-g"$ sample of this unknown compound to determine the...
