I don't understand how to use equation three to figure out the composition of a penny's zinc % and copper % using the data I collected. Can someone show me how to do it?
You haven’t included the density values given in your table 4. I shall use values obtained from internet sources.
The change in volume for trial 2 will be 10.0 mL; hence the density of the pennies is (69.907 g)/(10 mL) = 6.9907 g/mL. The average density is ½*(6.2411 + 6.9907) g/mL = 6.6159 g/mL.
x is the fraction of copper in the penny. Since the penny is comprised only of copper and zinc, hence the sum total of the fractions of copper and zinc must be 1.0. Therefore, the fraction of zinc in the penny is (1 – x).
Density of copper is 8.96 g/mL while the density of zinc is 7.13 g/mL.
Plug in the values in the equation to get
x*(8.96 g/mL) + (1 – x)*(7.13 g/mL) = 6.6159 g/mL
===> 8.96x + 7.13 – 7.13x = 6.6159
===> 1.83x = -0.5141
We run into a trouble here. The value should have been positive. Kindly check our data. I shall ignore the negative sign and work with the positive value to show you how its done.
1.83x = 0.5141
===> x = (0.5141)/1.83 = 0.2809 ≈ 0.281
Therefore, (1 – x) = (1 – 0.281) = 0.719.
Thus, percentage of copper in the penny = (0.281)*100% = 28.1% and the percentage of zinc in the penny is (0.719)*100% = 71.9% (ans).
