Red gold is a gold-copper alloy used to make jewlery. A piece of jewlery made of red gold weighs 8.97g and has a volume of 0.528cm3. Gold has a density of 19.3g/cm3 and copper has a density of 8.96g/cm3. Calculate the percentage by mass of each metal in jewelry. Assume the total volume of the jewelry is the sum of the volumes of the two metals it contains

Percent of gold and copper are 88.2 and 11.8

Red gold is a gold-copper alloy used to make jewelry .

Let the mass  of gold be m1

Let the mass of copper be m2

We are given that m1+m2 =8.97 g

We know that volume is the ratio of mass to density

Thus

m1/d1  + m2/d2 = 0.528 cm3

where d1 and d2 is the density of gold and copper

m1/19.3 + m2/8.96 = 0.528

8.96m1 +19.3 m2 = 0.528 x 19.3 x 8.96 = 91.305

putting m1 = 8.97 - m2

8.96 ( 8.97 - m2 ) + 19.3 m2 = 91.305

80.3712 - 8.96m2 + 19.3 m2 =91.305

10.34 m2 = 91.305-80.3712

m2 = 10.9338 /10.34

      =1.0537gm

m1=8.97-1.0537

    =7.91gm

Therefore, percent of gold = 7.91/8.97 x 100 =88.20%

                 percent of copper = 100-88.2=11.8%

Therefore, percent of gold and copper are 88.2 and 11.8
