First, we calculate the mass of the sample:
mass = density x volume
mass = 8.48 x 112.5
mass = 954 grams
Now, we will calculate the mass of each component using its percentage mass, then divide it by its atomic mass to find the moles and finally multiply the number of moles by the number of particles in a mole, that is, 6.02 x 10²³.
Zinc mass = 0.37 x 954
Zinc mass = 352.98 g
Zinc moles = 352.98 / 65
Zinc moles = 5.43
Zinc atoms = 5.43 x 6.02 x 10²³
Zinc atoms = 3.27 x 10²⁴
Copper mass = 0.63 x 954
Copper mass = 601.02 g
Copper moles = 601.02 / 64
Copper moles = 9.39
Copper atoms = 9.39 x 6.02 x 10²³
Copper atoms = 5.56 x 10²⁴
Rusting causes rocks with metals in them to corrode and have changed compositions. The oxygen in the moisture in the air causes rock to rust.
Elements which composed of an equal amount of three components protons, neutrons and electrons are considered neutral elements. example of neutral elements are hydrogen, helium, lithium and beryllium...
