Aluminum bronze contains 92.0% copper and 8.0% aluminum. What maximum mass of aluminum bronze can be prepared from 73.5g of copp

er and 42.2g of aluminum? Initially I tried dividing 73.5g by 0.92, and I thought I have found the max mass of aluminum bronze. But then I tried using 70.0g of copper which gave me a result of about 82.17g of total mass of aluminum bronze. How should I calculate it accurately so that I can maximize the use of both metals?

The ratio of aluminum bronze components is:

92.0 Cu / 8.0 Al

The ratio of Cu and Al avilable is: 73.5 Cu / 42.2 Al

Then, it is evident that Al is in excess and Cu is the limitant material.

So, you need two work with the open proportion 92.0/ 8.0 = 73.5Cu / x

=> x = 73.5 * 8 / 92 = 6.39

Then, you can use 6.4 grams of Al and 73.5 grams of Cu to prepare 6.39g + 73.5g =  79.89.grams of Bronze.

I hope this helps.

Write a chemical equation for the reaction that occurs in the following cell: Cu|Cu2+(aq)||Ag+(aq)|Ag. Of the two metals, copper
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Answer is given below.

Explanation:

Anode is that electrode where oxidation occurs. Cathode is that electrode where reduction occurs.

In cell representation, half cell present left to salt-bridge notation(\parallel ) is anodic system and another half cell present right to salt-bridge notation(\parallel ) is cathodic system.

So anode is Cu and cathode is Ag.

oxidation: Cu-2e^{-}\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)

[reduction: Ag^{+}+e^{-}\rightarrow Ag]\times 2

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

chemical equation: Cu+2Ag^{+}(aq.)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2Ag

Oxidizing agent is that species which takes electron from another species. Here Ag^{+}(aq.) takes electron from Cu. Hence Ag^{+}(aq.)  is the oxidizing agent.

Reducing agent is that species which gives electron to another species. Here Cu gives electron to Ag^{+}(aq.) . Hence Cu  is the reducing agent.

Water molecules tend to stick to one another by _____.
ser-zykov [4K]
Each water molecule consists of two atoms of the element hydrogen joined to one atom of the element oxygen. An interesting property of water is the ability of its molecules to “stick together.” This occurs because one side of each water molecule is slightly negative and the other side is slightly positive. The positive portion of a water molecule is attracted to the negative portion of an adjacent water molecule. As a result, water molecules are called polar molecules. They attract other water molecules like little magnets. It is most likely ionic bonding but between hydrogen and oxygen it is covalent.

Why is the air in a jet aircraft flying at high altitudes pressurized? *
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Aircraft cabins are therefore pressurized to maintained a similar pressure as that experienced at sea level to ensure normal breathing of passengers.

Explanation:

-Air becomes increasingly thinner with increasing altitudes.

-As such, oxygen becomes limited at higher altitudes and makes it difficult or almost impossible to breath  a condition called hypoxia.

-Aircraft cabins are therefore pressurized to maintained a similar pressure as that experienced at sea level to ensure normal breathing of passengers.
