Calculate the percentage of gold by mass in the jewelry

Reference no: EM13693168

Problem- Consider a piece of gold jewelry that weighs 9.35g and has a volume of 0.680cm3 . The jewelry contains only gold and silver, which have densities of 19.3 g/cm3 and 10.5 g/cm3, respectively. If the total volume of the jewelry is the sum of the volumes of the gold and silver that it contains, calculate the percentage of gold (by mass) in the jewelry.

I want you to clarify the chemistry in the above problem
