Chapter 10, Problem 10.52P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The wt% of the given ceramic is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The formula to calculate the wt% from the given at% for an alloy containing phases $1\text{ and }2$ is:

  ${\left(\text{wt\%}\right)}_1=\frac{\left[\frac{{\left(\text{at\%}\right)}_1}{{\text{M}}_1}\right]}{\left[\frac{{\left(\text{at\%}\right)}_1}{{\text{M}}_1}+\frac{{\left(\text{at\%}\right)}_2}{{\text{M}}_2}\right]}\times 100$ ...... (1)

Here, ${\left(\text{at\%}\right)}_1\text{ and }{\left(\text{at\%}\right)}_2$ are the atomic percent of the elements present in the alloy, and ${\text{M}}_1{\text{ and M}}_2$ are the molecular weights of the elements.
