Duralin is an alloy of aluminium containing 4.5% manganese, 3.5% copper, and 0.45% magnesium. How much magnesium is present in a 88 g sample of this alloy?

Answer :

Answer: The mass of magnesium in given amount of alloy is 0.396 g

Explanation:

We are given:

Percent mass of manganese = 4.5 %

Percent mass of copper = 3.5 %

Percent mass of magnesium = 0.45 %

Percent mass of aluminium = (100 - 4.5 - 3.5 - 0.45) = 91.55 %

Mass of alloy = 88 g

We need to calculate the mass of magnesium in 88 g of alloy, we get:

[tex]\Rightarrow 88\times \frac{0.45}{100}=0.396g[/tex]

Hence, the mass of magnesium in given amount of alloy is 0.396 g

Lanuel

The amount of magnesium that is present in a 88 g sample of duralin is 0.396 grams.

Given the following data:

  • Percentage by mass of manganese = 4.5%
  • Percentage by mass of copper = 3.5%
  • Percentage by mass of magnesium = 0.45%
  • Mass of duralin = 88 grams

To determine the amount of magnesium that is present in a 88 g sample of duralin:

In this exercise, you're required to calculate the total amount of magnesium that is present in duralin, if it takes 0.45 percent of the total mass of duralin.

[tex]Mass\;of\;magnesium = \frac{0.45}{100} \times 88\\\\Mass\;of\;magnesium = \frac{39.6}{100}[/tex]

Mass of magnesium = 0.396 grams
