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\%

How many grams of HCl(aq) are required to react completely with 1.25g of Zn(s) to form ZnCl2(aq) and H2
faltersainse [42]

1.39 g HCl

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is given by

Zn(<em>s</em>) + 2HCl(<em>aq</em>) ---> ZnCl2(<em>aq</em>) + H2(<em>g</em>)

Convert the # of grams of Zn to moles:

1.25 g Zn × (1 mol Zn/65.38 g Zn) = 0.0191 mol Zn

Use the molar ratio to find the # of moles of HCl needed to react completely with the given amount of Zn:

0.0191 mol Zn × (2 mol HCl/1 mol Zn) = 0.0382 mol HCl

Convert this amount to grams:

0.0382 mol HCl × (36.458 g HCl/1 mol HCl) = 1.39 g HCl
