The composite material is composed of carbon fiber and epoxy resins. Now, density is an intensive unit. So, to approach this problem, let's assume there is 1 gram of composite material. Thus, mass carbon + mass epoxy = 1 g.

Volume of composite material = 1 g / 1.615 g/cm³ = 0.619 cm³
Volume of carbon fibers = x g / 1.74 g/cm³ 
Volume of epoxy resin = (1 - x) g / 1.21 g/cm³ 

a.) V of composite = V of carbon fibers + V of epoxy resin
0.619 = x/1.74 + (1-x)/1.21
Solve for x,
x = 0.824 g carbon fibers
1-x = 0.176 g epoxy resins

Vol % of carbon fibers = [(0.824/1.74) ÷ 0.619]*100 =<em> 76.5%</em>

b.) Weight % of epoxy = 0.176 g epoxy/1 g composite * 100 = <em>17.6%</em>
     Weight % of carbon fibers = 0.824 g carbon/1 g composite * 100 = <em>82.4%</em>

2.714 mole of helium has a mass of ______ grams.<br><br> (Enter just the number for this one.)
kifflom [539]

Hello!

To find the mass of helium, we need to multiply the total moles by the mass of helium. We are given 2.714 moles of helium, and the mass of helium is about 4.00 grams. Now, we multiply the two values together to get the grams.

2.714 moles x 4.00 grams = 10.856 grams

According to the number of significant figures, 2.714 moles of helium has a mass of 10.9 grams (exact value: 10.856 grams).
