how much gold can you extract from 1094 grams of gold ore?

To determine how much gold can be extracted from 1094 grams of gold ore, you need to know the concentration of gold within the ore. This concentration is typically given as a percentage or in parts per million (ppm). For the sake of this example, let's assume the gold concentration in the ore is 1% by weight.

Here's a step-by-step explanation of how to calculate the amount of gold:

1. Determine the concentration of gold in the ore:

   • If the concentration is given as a percentage, you can directly use it.
   • If the concentration is given in ppm, you need to convert it to a percentage (1 ppm = 0.0001%).

2. Calculate the amount of gold:

   • Multiply the total weight of the ore by the percentage of gold concentration.

Given:

• Total weight of ore = 1094 grams
• Gold concentration = 1% (or 0.01 in decimal form)

The formula to calculate the amount of gold is: \[ \text{Amount of gold} = \text{Total weight of ore} \times \text{Gold concentration} \]

Plugging in the values: \[ \text{Amount of gold} = 1094 \, \text{grams} \times 0.01 \]

\[ \text{Amount of gold} = 10.94 \, \text{grams} \]

So, from 1094 grams of gold ore with a 1% gold concentration, you can extract 10.94 grams of gold.

If you have a different concentration, you can adjust the calculation accordingly. For example, if the concentration is 0.5%, you would use 0.005 in the formula instead of 0.01.
