Homework answers / question archive / An alloy contains 35g of silver, 4 g of gold, and 23 g of copper
An alloy contains 35g of silver, 4 g of gold, and 23 g of copper. What is the percentage of copper in the alloy? Round to the nearest tenths place.
Computation of Percentage of Copper in the alloy:
Mass % of Copper in alloy = 100 * (Mass of Copper/Total Mass of alloy)
Here,
Mass of Copper = 23 g
Total Mass of alloy = 35g of silver + 4 g of gold + 23 g of copper = 62 g
Mass % of Copper in alloy = 100 * (23 /62) = 37.10%
