Chapter 0, Problem 0.83CHP
Vinaigrette salad dressing consists mainly of olive oil and vinegar. The density of olive oil is 0.918 g/cm3, the density of vinegar is 1.006 g/cm3, and the two do not mix. If a certain mixture of olive oil and vinegar has a total mass of 397.8 g and a total volume of 422.8 cm3, what is the volume of oil and what is the volume of vinegar in the mixture?

Unfermented grape juice used to make wine is called a “must.” The sugar content of the must determines whether the wine will be dry or sweet. The sugar content is found by measuring the density of the must. If the density is lower than 1.070 g/mL, then sugar syrup is added until thedensity reaches 1.075 g/mL. Suppose that you have a sample taken from a must whose mass is 47.28 g and whose volume is 44.60 mL. Describe how you would determine whether or not sugar syrup needs to be added and if so, how would you estimate how much sugar syrup to add?
You have a piece of gold jewelry that weighs 9 g. Its volume is 0.74 cm3 Assume that the metal is an alloy (a mixture of solids) of gold and silver, which have densities of 19 g/cm3 and 10 g/cm3 respectively. Also assum that there is no change in volume when the pure metals are mixed. The relative amount of gold in an alloy is measured in karats. Pure gold is 24 karats; an alloy of 50% gold is 12 carats. State the proportion of gold in the jewelry in karats.
At one point in time, the price of gold was about $1400 per ounce, while that of silver was about $20 an ounce. The "ounce" in this case is the troy ounce, which is equal to 31.1035 gg. (The more familiar avoirdupois ounce is equal to 28.35 g.) The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3g/cm3 and that of silver is 10.5 g/cm3.
