Common brass is a copper and zinc alloy containing 37.0% zinc by mass and having a density of 8.48g/cm3. a fitting composed of common brass has a total volume of 112.5cm3. how many atoms (copper and zinc) does the fitting contain?

First, we calculate the mass of the sample:

mass = density x volume
mass = 8.48 x 112.5
mass = 954 grams

Now, we will calculate the mass of each component using its percentage mass, then divide it by its atomic mass to find the moles and finally multiply the number of moles by the number of particles in a mole, that is, 6.02 x 10²³.

Zinc mass = 0.37 x 954
Zinc mass = 352.98 g
Zinc moles = 352.98 / 65
Zinc moles = 5.43
Zinc atoms = 5.43 x 6.02 x 10²³
Zinc atoms = 3.27 x 10²⁴

Copper mass = 0.63 x 954
Copper mass = 601.02 g
Copper moles = 601.02 / 64
Copper moles = 9.39
Copper atoms = 9.39 x 6.02 x 10²³
Copper atoms = 5.56 x 10²⁴
