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?
Answered by DrBob222
(g solute/g solution)*100 = %
You have g solute and %, solve for g solution.

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.

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

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