Chapter 11: Q1PE (page 396)

Gold is sold by the troy ounce (31.103 g). What is the volume oftroyounce of pure gold?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The volume oftroy ounce of pure gold is obtained as:1.6 cm3.

Step by step solution

01

Conceptual Introduction

Fluid statics, often known as hydrostatics, is a branch of fluid mechanics that investigates the state of balance of a floating and submerged body, as well as the pressure in a fluid, or imposed by a fluid, on an immersed body.

02

Given Data 

The density of the substance is the ratio of the mass to that of the volume of the substance.

The density of the Gold is normally considered as蚁=19.32 g/cm3.

Here the mass is given in troy ounce

The mass in gram will be m=31.103 g.

03

Calculating the volume of the given Substance

As we known that the density is the rate of mass per volume let鈥檚 put the given data in the formula given below.

蚁=mVV=m蚁V=31.103鈥�g19.32鈥�g/cm3V=1.6鈥�cm3

Therefore, volume of troy ounce gold is 1.6 cm3.

Scurrilous con artists have been known to represent gold-plated tungsten ingots as pure gold and sell them to the greedy at prices much below gold value but deservedly far above the cost of tungsten. With what accuracy must you be able to measure the mass of such an ingot in and out of water to tell that it is almost pure tungsten rather than pure gold?
