Concept explainers
The unit “troy ounce” is often used for precious metals such as gold (Au) and platinum (Pt). (1 troy ounce = 31.103 g.) (a) A gold coin weighs 2.41 troy ounces. Calculate its mass in grams. (b) Is a troy ounce heavier or lighter than an ounce? (11b = 16 oz; 11b = 453.6 g.)
(a)
Interpretation:
From the given data’s, it should be calculated the mass of gold coinin grams and it should be checked whether a troy ounce is heavier or lighter than an ounce.
Concept Introduction:
Conversion formula;
Explanation of Solution
To determine: The mass of gold coin in grams
The unit of troy ounce is used for metal such as gold and platinum. A gold coins weights 2.41 troy ounce. Mass of gold coin in grams can be calculated by using conversion formula.
That is,
So,
(b)
Interpretation:
From the given data’s, it should be calculated the mass of gold coinin grams and it should be checked whether a troy ounce is heavier or lighter than an ounce.
Concept Introduction:
Conversion formula;
Explanation of Solution
To check: Whether a troy ounce is heavier or lighter than an ounce.
By using conversion factor, it can be check whether a troy ounce is heavier or lighter than an ounce.
That is, 1 troy oz should be converted to gram and the 1 gram should be converted to pound .at last 1 pound should be converted to ounce.
So the conversion can be done as follows;
So, it can be concluded that A troy ounce is heavier than an ounce

If you know that each copper atom (radius = 128 pm) has a mass of 1.055 ×10–22 g (you will learn in Chapter 2 how to find the mass of one atom), how manyatoms are there in this cube? What fraction of the cube is filled with atoms? (Orconversely, how much of the lattice is empty space?) Why is there “empty” space in thelattice?(b) Now look at the smallest, repeating unit of the crystal lattice of copper.Knowing that an edge of this cube is 361.47 pm and the density of copper is 8.960g/cm3, calculate the number of copper atoms in this smallest, repeating unitarrow_forward
