Answer:

The volume percent of graphite is 91.906 per cent.

Explanation:

The volume percent of graphite (\% V_{Gr}) is determined by the following expression:

\%V_{Gr} = \frac{V_{Gr}}{V_{Gr}+V_{Fe}} \times 100\,\%

\%V_{Gr} = \frac{1}{1+\frac{V_{Gr}}{V_{Fe}} }\times 100\,\%

Where:

V_{Gr} - Volume occupied by the graphite phase, measured in cubic centimeters.

V_{Fe} - Volume occupied by the ferrite phase, measured in cubic centimeters.

The volume of each phase can be calculated in terms of its density and mass. That is:

V_{Gr} = \frac{m_{Gr}}{\rho_{Gr}}

V_{Fe} = \frac{m_{Fe}}{\rho_{Fe}}

Where:

m_{Gr}, m_{Fe} - Masses of the graphite and ferrite phases, measured in grams.

\rho_{Gr}, \rho_{Fe} - Densities of the graphite and ferrite phases, measured in grams per cubic centimeter.

Let substitute each volume in the definition of the volume percent of graphite:

\%V_{Gr} = \frac{1}{1 +\frac{\frac{m_{Gr}}{\rho_{Gr}} }{\frac{m_{Fe}}{\rho_{Fe}} } } \times 100\,\%

\%V_{Gr} = \frac{1}{1+\left(\frac{m_{Gr}}{m_{Fe}} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{\rho_{Fe}}{\rho_{Gr}} \right)}\times 100\,\%

Let suppose that 100 grams of cast iron are available, masses of each phase are now determined:

m_{Gr} = \frac{2.5}{100}\times (100\,g)

m_{Gr} = 2.5\,g

m_{Fe} = 100\,g - 2.5\,g

m_{Fe} = 97.5\,g

If m_{Gr} = 2.5\,g, m_{Fe} = 97.5\,g, \rho_{Fe} = 7.9\,\frac{g}{cm^{3}} and \rho_{Gr} = 2.3\,\frac{g}{cm^{3}}, the volume percent of graphite is:

\%V_{Gr} = \frac{1}{1+\left(\frac{2.5\,gr}{97.5\,gr} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{7.9\,\frac{g}{cm^{3}} }{2.3\,\frac{g}{cm^{3}} } \right)} \times 100\,\%

\% V_{Gr} = 91.906\,\%

The volume percent of graphite is 91.906 per cent.
