Given:
- Alloy composition: 60% aluminum (Al) by mass, 40% tin (Sn) by mass.
- Density of aluminum () =
- Density of tin () =
Part a· 5 steps
What is the density of the alloy?
Use the formula for the density of a mixture when mass fractions are known.
The density of an alloy () composed of components with mass fractions and densities is given by:
In this case, for aluminum and tin:
Where (60%) and (40%).
Substitute the given values into the formula.
Calculate the individual terms.
Add the terms.
To add these fractions, find a common denominator or convert to decimals.
Calculate the density of the alloy.
The density of the alloy is .
Part b
What is the mass of tin in of the alloy?
Calculate the total mass of of the alloy.
We use the formula .
Calculate the mass of tin in this total mass.
The alloy is 40% tin by mass.
The mass of tin in of the alloy is .
