Chapter 17, Problem 17.11P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The weight percent of yttria (Y) in yttrium oxide alloy present originallyshould be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Weight percent is defined as the ratio of weight of one component to weight of total component:

  $weightpercent=\frac{weightofonecomponent}{totalweightofcomponents}\times 100$

Volume of sphere is defined as,

  $V_{sphere}=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

Here, r is the radius of the sphere.
