Explain the mass fraction of gold multiplied

Reference no: EM13548758

The purity of gold alloys is expressed in karats, which is the mass fraction of gold multiplied by 24. Pure gold is 24 kt, whereas 10 kt gold jewelry typically contains 41.666667% gold, 29.166667% silver and 29.166667% copper (by mass). Estimate the density of this 10 kt gold alloy.
