Question

Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, chromium, nickel, and manganese metals. If a 2.000 g sample contains 10.0% nickel, what is the mass of nickel in the sample?

Answer 1

Answer:

200 g

Explanation:

Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, chromium, nickel, and manganese metals. A 2.000 g sample contains 10.0% nickel (mass percent), that is, there are 10.0 g of nickel every 100 g of the sample. The mass of nickel in the sample is:

2.000 g sample × (10.0 g Nickel/100 g sample) = 200 g Nickel

There are 200 grams of Nickel in the 2.000 g-sample.
