QuestionCalculate the percentage of antimony in a bullet with lead, tin, and antimony.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The bullet contains0.5g of lead. The bullet contains10.7g of tin3. The bullet contains1.5g of antimony4. We are asked to find the percentage of antimony in the bullet
STEP 2
First, we need to find the total weight of the bullet. We can do this by adding the weights of the three metals.
STEP 3
Now, plug in the given values for the weights of the lead, tin, and antimony to calculate the total weight.
STEP 4
Calculate the total weight of the bullet.
STEP 5
Now that we have the total weight of the bullet, we can find the percentage of antimony in the bullet. The percentage is calculated by dividing the weight of the antimony by the total weight of the bullet and then multiplying by100.
STEP 6
Plug in the values for the weight of the antimony and the total weight to calculate the percentage of antimony.
STEP 7
Calculate the percentage of antimony in the bullet.
The percentage of antimony in the bullet is approximately11.%.
