Gold forms a substitutional solid solution with silver. Compute the number of gold atoms per cubic centimeter for a silver-gold alloy that contains 45 wt% Au and 55 wt% Ag. The densities of pure gold and silver are 19.32 and 10.49 g/cm3, respectively. The atomic weight of Au is 196.97 g/mol.

Answer:

The Number of gold atoms are =[tex]N_{Au}=1.81718*10^{22}\ atoms/cm^3[/tex]

Explanation:

The formula we are going to use is:

[tex]N_{Au}=\frac{N_A*C_{Au}}{{\frac{C_{Au}A_{Au} }{\rho_{Au}}}+\frac{A_{Au}}{\rho_{Ag}}(100-C_{Au})}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]N_{Au}[/tex] are number of gold atoms.

[tex]N_A[/tex] is Avogadro Number.

[tex]C_{Au}[/tex] is the amount of gold.

[tex]A_{Au}[/tex] is the atomic weight of gold.

[tex]\rho_{Au}[/tex] is the density of gold.

[tex]\rho_{Ag}[/tex] is the density of silver.

[tex]C_{Ag}[/tex] is the amount of silver.

[tex]N_{Au}=\frac{6.023*10^{23}*45\%wt}{\frac{45\%wt*196.97}{19.32}+\frac{196.97}{10.49}(100-45\%wt)}\\ N_{Au}=1.81718*10^{22}\ atoms/cm^3[/tex]

The Number of gold atoms are =[tex]N_{Au}=1.81718*10^{22}\ atoms/cm^3[/tex]
