Can you calculate the melting point of an alloy?

To calculate the melting point of an alloy, one must consider the melting points of the individual elements in the alloy and their relative proportions. The melting point of an alloy is usually lower than that of its individual components due to the formation of a new phase. Phase diagrams are often used to predict the melting behavior of alloys.


Is sulfur an alloy?

No. Sulfur is an element. An alloy is a kind of mixture.


Is brass a non ferrous alloy or a non ferrous metal?

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.


Metal alloy that is 18 percent copper how many ounces of an alloy that is 14 percent copper must be mixed with an alloy that is 23 percent copper to form 90 ounces of alloy?

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.


Is an alloy a mixture or compound?

An alloy is a mixture of two or more metals, or a metal and another element. It is not a compound because the atoms in an alloy retain their individual properties and do not combine chemically to form a new substance.
