So from 3:16; 16/3=5.33 (recurring) then to solve for the mass of zinc you divide 320 by 5.33 (recurring) to give you 60g ... the mass of zinc
The amount of Zinc in the 320 grams of copper wire has been 60 grams.
The chemical compound has been used for the determination of the elements in the compound, with the proportion of each element in the compound.
The given chemical compound has Copper and Zinc, with 3 parts zinc for 16 parts copper.
Zn : Cu = 3 : 16
The available mass of copper has been 320 grams, the mass of zinc can be given as:
[tex]\rm \dfrac{3\;Zn}{16\;Cu}\;=\;\dfrac{Zn}{320\;Cu}[/tex]
Zn = 0.1875 × 320 grams
Zn = 60 grams.
The amount of Zinc in the 320 grams of copper wire has been 60 grams.
