Aluminum–lithium (Al–Li) alloys have been developed by the aircraft industry to reduce the weight and improve the performance of

its aircraft. A commercial aircraft skin material having a density of 2.14 g/cm3 is desired. Compute the concentration of Li (in wt%) that is required. The densities of aluminum and lithium are 2.71 and 0.534 g/cm3, respectively.

Answer:

6.54% is the required concentration of lithium in an alloy (Al–Li).

Explanation:

Suppose 100 grams of an alloy of aluminium and lithium.

Density of an alloy = d  2.14 g/cm^3

Volume of an alloy = V

V=\frac{100 g}{2.14 g/cm^3}=46.73 cm^3

Volume of aluminum = v_1

Mass of aluminum = x

Density of aluminum = d_1=2.71 g/cm^3

v_1=\frac{x}{d_1}

Volume of lithium = v_2

Mass of lithium = y

Density of lithium= d_2=0.534 g/cm^3

v_2=\frac{y}{d_2}

x+y=100 ..[1]

v_1+v_2=V

\frac{x}{d_1}+\frac{y}{d_2}=46.73 cm^3

\frac{x}{2.71}+\frac{y}{0.534}=46.73..[2]

Solving [1] and [2] :

we get :

x = 93.46 g

y = 6.54 g

Concentration of Li (in wt%) that is required:

Li\%=\frac{6.54 g}{100 g}\times 100=6.54\%

Explain how energy causes changes to earths surface
dlinn [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The absorbed sunlight drives photosynthesis, fuels evaporation, melts snow and ice, and warms the Earth system. Solar power drives Earth's climate. Energy from the Sun heats the surface, warms the atmosphere, and powers the ocean currents.

Trava [24]

Answer:

0.779 moles.

Explanation:

Mass of chlorine/number of moles = molar mass of chlorine.

Molar mass of chlorine = (35.5*2)

= 71 g/mol.

Mass = 55.3 g of chlorine.

Number of moles = 55.3/71

= 0.779 moles.
