Question

18 carat gold is a mixture.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• Caratage is the measurement of purity of gold alloyed with other metals.
• 24 carat is pure gold with no other metals.
• Lower caratages contain less gold; 18 carat gold contains 75 percent gold and 25 percent other metals, often copper or silver.
• An alloy is a mixture of different metals or nonmetals and metals that cannot be separated from each other using physical methods.
• For Example Brass – Copper with up to 50% zinc. Bronze – Copper with up to 12% Tin.
• Thus, the above statement is true.
