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>

If you want to optimize environmental impact, the ores should be sifted at the site before transporting.

<h3>What is an ore?</h3>

An ore refers to the raw material from which a material is made. Usually, ores are obtained in the raw state from the earth. Metal ores are very important in the manufacturing industry.

In order to reduce the environmental impact of the manufacturing of ores in the metallurgical industry, the ores should be sifted at the site before transporting.
