The average density of a carbon-fiber-epoxy composite is 1.615 g/cm3. the density of the epoxy resin is 1.21 g/cm3 and that of t

he carbon fibers is 1.74 g/cm3. (a) what is the volume percentage of carbon fibers in the composite? (b) what are the weight percentages of epoxy resin and carbon fibers in the composite?

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>

List the following bonds in order of increasing polarity (ionic character). Give the electronegativity values for each atom to j
barxatty [35]

Answer:

A = B < D < C

C - S

Cl - Cl

F ← H

Si → O

Explanation:

The polarity of a bond increases with the increase in the difference in electronegativity. The dipole moment is represented with an arrow pointing the more electronegative atom.

A: carbon-sulfur

C - S

ΔEN = |EN(C) - EN(S)| = |2.5 - 2.5| = 0

B: chlorine - chlorine

Cl - Cl

ΔEN = |EN(Cl) - EN(Cl)| = |3.0 - 3.0| = 0

C: fluorine – hydrogen

F ← H

ΔEN = |EN(F) - EN(H)| = |4.0 - 2.1| = 1.9

D: silicon - oxygen

Si → O

ΔEN = |EN(Si) - EN(O)| = |1.8 - 3.5| = 1.7

The order of increasing polarity is A = B < D < C.

Find the mass, in grams, of 5.00*10^23 molecules of F2
Westkost [7]

Answer:   31.55 g

Explanation:

- The mass number of Fluoride atom (F) = 18.99 g/mol, so mass number of         fluorine gas (F2) = 37.98 g/mol.

-  1 mole of (F2) [which has 37.98 g/mol] contains Avogadro’s number of molecules (6.02×10^23 molecules),

   so   1 mole of (F2) with 37.98 g/mol →  6.02×10^23 molecules.

- Using cross multiplication,  

                               37.98 g/mol of (F2)        →       6.02 ×10^23 molecules

                                                       ?              →        5.00 ×10^23 molecules

Hence the mass of 5.00×10^23 molecules of F2 = (37.98 × 5.00 × 10^23) / 6.02 ×10^23 = 31.55 g..
