It is determined that 0.6 kg of the alloy is actually made up of copper and zinc, with the remainder being gold. Calculate the percentage of this gold in the alloy? Express your answer to the nearest percentage (nearest ones place). Hint: calculate the mass in grams of the gold in the alloy, divide by the whole mass of the alloy, and multiply by 100%. Round your answer to two significant figures. (I had to alter the wording of this question since it wasn't calculating significant figures properly, so if you got it wrong because of significant figures you can assume you probably actually got it correct.)arrow_forward[Review Topics) [References) Use the References to access important values if needed for this question. A general chemistry student found a chunk of metal in the basement of a friend's house. To figure out what it was, she used the ideas just developed in class about density. She measured the mass of the metal to be 340.3 grams. Then she dropped the metal into a measuring cup and found that it displaced 15.7 mL of water. Calculate the density of the metal.
