The density of copper is 8.95g/cm3 and the density of zinc is 7.14 g/cm3, a sample of a cu-zn is 80.5 percent cu and 19.5 percent zn what is the density of the alloy?

Respuesta :

Answer:

8.597 g/cm³.

Explanation:

  • The density of the alloy = [(density of Cu) (Cu % / 100) + (density of Zn) (Zn % / 100)]

Density of Cu = 8.95 g/cm³,

% of Cu = 80.5 %,

Density of Zn = 7.14 g/cm³,

% of Zn = 19.5 %.

∴ The density of the alloy = [(density of Cu) (Cu % / 100) + (density of Zn) (Zn % / 100)] = [( 8.95 g/cm³) (80.5 / 100) + (7.14 g/cm³) (19.5 / 100) = [7.205 g/cm³ + 1.39 g/cm³] = 8.597 g/cm³.

Alloy is the combination of elements in which at least one of them is metal. The density of the copper and zinc alloy is [tex]\rm 8.597 g/cm^{3}.[/tex]

What is Density?

Density is the ratio of mass to volume of the substance and is given as the unit of gm per cubic centimetre.

Given,

  • The density of copper = [tex]8.95\;\rm g/cm^{3}[/tex]
  • Percentage of copper = 80.5%
  • The density of zinc = [tex]7.14 \;\rm g/cm^{3}[/tex]
  • Percentage of zinc = 19.5%

The formula to calculate the density of the alloy is given as:

[tex]\text{The density of the alloy} = [(\text{density of Cu}) (\dfrac{\rm Cu \%}{100}) + (\text{density of Zn}) (\dfrac{\rm Zn \% }{ 100})][/tex]

Substituting values in the above equation:

[tex]\begin{aligned}&=[( 8.95\rm \; g/cm^{3}) (\rm \dfrac{80.5}{100}) + (7.14\;\rm g/cm^{3}) (\dfrac{19.5}{100}) \\\\&=[7.205 \;\rm g/cm^{3} + 1.39\;\rm g/cm^{3}]\\\\&= 8.597 \;\rm g/cm^{3}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the density of the alloy is  [tex]\rm 8.597 \; g/cm^{3}.[/tex]
