A 14 karat gold alloy contains 58% m/m gold. How much of this alloy can a jeweler make using 50.0 g of pure gold?

Answer 1

(g solute/g solution)*100 = %
You have g solute and %, solve for g solution.

Answer 2

So would the answer be 0.86

Answer 3

I got 0.86

Answer 4

Close. You can check you answer by plugging in your answer.
See if it is.
(50/0.86)*100 = ? I get about 586% so 0.86 must not be right. If you will post your work I will find the error. I think it's must a math error.

Answer 5

58 = 50.0/s
58 x s = 50.0
S= 50.0/58

Answer 6

You left out the 100.
It's (50/s)*100 = 58
s = 5000/58 = s = ?
