A student was asked to determine the densities of the four metals listed. The student was asked to determine the density of an unknown metallic substance. The metallic substance is an alloy. This particular alloy is a 50/50 mixture of two metals listed in the table. The student found the density of the alloy to be 9.32 g/cm3. According to the density, what two metals make up the alloy? A) lead and gold B) copper and tin C) copper and gold D) tin and lead

Answer:

D is correct

Explanation:

because

we know that

density of lead is 11.36 g/cm3

and

density of tin is 7.31 g/cm3

so..

density of alloy by mixing 50/50

=(11.36+7.31)/2 g/cm3

=18.67/2 g/cm3

=9.33 g/cm3

Answer:

The answer is D) tin and lead

Explanation:

Here's why: Tin and lead compose the alloy. Since the alloy is a 50/50 mixture, the measured density will lie very close to the average density of the two metals. 9.32 lies exactly half way between tin and lead.
