Hello to everyone.
I recently visited Ghana and happened to meet a few gold buyers. I saw their method of buying gold and finding the purity as well. They used the water displacement method in determining the purity of the gold.
I have a question about the calculation.
Here is an example of the calculation:
Weight of Gold - 1002.29gms
Weight of Gold in Water - 55.53gms
Density = 1002.29 / 55.53 = 18.04
the next step - 18.04 - 10.51 x 52.838 / 18.04 = 22.05 Kt.
I understood the step till finding density. But did not understand the next step. Can anyone tell me what does this value - 10.51 and 52.838 - stand for?
Thank you
