a 50.0g sample of bronze contains 5.23g of tin.what is the mass percent composition of copper in this bronze alloy? show your work and units and results to the nearest tenth
Added by Precious E.
Step 1
Since the bronze sample is made up of tin and copper, we can find the mass of copper by subtracting the mass of tin from the total mass of the bronze sample. Mass of copper = Total mass of bronze - Mass of tin Mass of copper = 50.0g - 5.23g = 44.77g Show more…
