Gold in its pure form is too soft to be used for most jewelry. Therefore, the gold is mixed with other metals to produce an alloy. The composition of gold alloys are always calculated by mass, using the karat (kt) as a unit of measure. A karat represents a proportion by mass of one part in twenty-four. The higher the karat value, the higher the proportion of gold in relation to the total metal content. Pure gold is therefore 24 karat, while an 18-karat gold alloy contains (at least) 18 parts (by mass) of gold out of 24 parts total.1. The percentage composition by mass of the less expensive 14-karat gold is typically 58.5 percent gold, 4.0 percent silver, 31.2 percent copper, and 6.3 percent zinc.2. Find the percentage composition by volume of 14-karat gold. The density of zinc is %u03C1zinc=7.14g/cm3.Enter four answers as percentages, separated by commas. Round each to the nearest integer. V%gold, V%silver, V%copper, V %zinc = i got (38.86,4.89,44.94,11.31) but it says this is wrong

Atwo-stage air compressor operates at steady state, compression 10m^3/min of air from 100 kpa and 300k to 1200 kpa. an intercooler between the two stages cools the air to 300k at a constant pressure of 350 kpa. the compression processes are isentropic. a) calculate the power required to run the compressor, in kw b) compare the result to the power required for isentropic compression from the same inlet state to the same final pressure.
