The mass or weight w of the desired 18 % copper alloy may be calculated from the masses of the two kinds of distinct alloys specified to be mixed and their masses, M for the copper-rich alloy and m for the lower copper alloy, from the formula 0.23M + 0.14m = 0.18 (M + m). Furthermore, M + m is stated to be 90, so that M = 90 - m. Therefore
0.23(90 - m) + 0.14m = 0.18 X 90 = 16.2. Multiplying out and collecting like terms results in 20.7 - (0.23 + 0.14)m = 16.2 or 0.09m = 4.5 or m = 50 ounces. M = 90 - 50 = 40 ounces.
There is a higher concentration of copper in a bronze statue. This is because there is a higher percentage of bronze metal in the statue.
yes. It is a non ferrous metal in that it is an alloy of copper and zinc. Ferrous refers to iron, the elemental symbol for iron is Fe.
Bronze is an alloy of Copper (Cu) and Tin (Sn). scooby doo
An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements where the main component is metal. Copper is a pure metal. Alloys are useful because most pure metals are too soft, brittle, or reactive for practical use.
Alloy
200 ounces.
How much of an alloy that is 10% copper should be mixed with 400 ounces of an alloy that is 70% copper in order to get an alloy that is 20%
Since the percentages of copper in the two components to be mixed are symmetric about the desired result, the answer is that the same amounts should be used. 600 ounces of the 30% copper.
900 ounces. Since this contains 20% copper, The copper content will be 180 ounces. The original 300 ounces contain 30% copper which is also 180 ounces. Hence in the resulting mixture of 1200 ounces (300+900), the total copper is 360 ounces (180+180). Hence the copper content of resulting mixture is 360/1200 which is 30%
LET X be the weigh tof the 20% alloy and then the total weight of the 30% alloy is 200 +X then 0.20X + .50 (200) = .30 (200 +X) .20X + 100 = 60 + .3X 40 = .1X 400 = X = 400 ounces
copper is NOT an alloy, it is an elemental metal
Brass is a metal alloy made of copper and zinc.
Bronze is an alloy that is not metal plated. It is composed of copper and tin.

Let me reduce that to an equation for you: 10x + 80(1-x) = 30; solve for x.
There is a higher concentration of copper in a bronze statue. This is because there is a higher percentage of bronze metal in the statue.
The melting point of gilding metal is between 427 and 788 degrees Celsius. Gilding metal is an alloy that is comprised of 95 percent copper and 5 percent zinc.
