24 karat gold means 100% pure gold so 22 karat means about 91% pure gold the remaining amount is other metals as impurities.
24 Karat is pure gold. 12 karat is half gold and half alloy. The number indicates (poorly) how much gold is actually contained in the metal. Color, other than the natural gold color, is a function of the alloying materials and has no relationship to the 'karat'.

Is gold mixed with silver?

It can be. Often in jewelry and coins, silver, copper and other metals are used to make the gold stronger & resistant to scratches. Usually people don't care about the other metals mixed with gold, they are concerned with the amount of gold. This is why they have the Karat system. The Karat system is based on 24 parts. So 24 karat gold is 24 parts out of 24, or ~100%. 10 Karat gold is 10 parts out of 24, or ~42% gold. 18 Karat gold is (18/24) or 75% gold. 22 Karat is (22/24) 92% gold.


What is the price difference between 24 karat gold an 22 carat gold?

24 karat gold is pure gold. 22 karat gold is only about 92% pure, so you should expect it to be slightly cheaper ... but not much, because whatever it's alloyed with has some value also (probably not as much as gold, though).
