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.

an element "x" has the election configuration 2,8,3 this element is found in ______group and_____period A.3,llla B.llla,3 C.vlla
iogann1982 [59]

This element is found in group 3A, period 3

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The maximum number of electrons that can be filled in the nth electron shell is 2n²(n=shell)

  • K shell (n = 1) maximum 2 x 1² = 2 electrons
  • L shell (n = 2) maximum 2 x 2² = 8 electrons
  • M shell (n = 3) maximum 2 x 3² = 18 electrons
  • N shell (n = 4) maximum 2 x 4² = 32 electrons

Electron configuration of element X : 2.8.3 , so :

K shell = 2 ⇒1s²

L shell = 8⇒2s²2p⁶

M shell = 3⇒ 3s²3p¹

Block p: group 13-18 (has a 2p-6p configuration), also called a representative element because it includes metals, non-metals and metalloids

The outer shell 3s²3p¹ : located in group 3A and period 3

group⇒valence electron ⇒3

period⇒the greatest value of the quantum number n⇒3

Rama09 [41]

Answer:The chemical energy

Explanation:because The chemical energy in the food you eat is changed into another kind of chemical energy that your body can use. Your body then uses that energy to give you the kinetic energy that you use in everything you do.

Explanation:

Charles's law is one of the gas laws which explains that at constant pressure, the temperature and volume of a gas are directly proportional to each other. According to kinetic theory, as temperature rises the kinetic energy of gas also increases proportionally
