Interpretation:Some of the alloys that can be used or seen in daily life needs to be named.
Concept introduction:Alloy can be defined as a mixture of two or more elements. They have metallic properties and at least one of the elements is metal. Alloys help in improving the properties of metals. In daily life, it is difficult to find iron, copper, silver, gold, and other metals in pure form. They are always used as alloys. Some of the alloys are brass, bronze, steel, etc. Alloy can be formed by blending two metals or a metal and a non-metal homogenously.
Answer to Problem 50A
Stainless steel, coin metal, sterling silver, bronze, and brass.
Explanation of Solution
Metals cannot be used in their pure form thus; they are combined with other metals and non-metals to form an alloy.
Some of the alloys used or seen in daily life are as follows:
Alloy | Composition | Properties |
Stainless steel | It is composed of 82% iron and 18 % chromium and nickel. | Making of utensils. |
Coin metal | It is composed of 85% copper and 25% nickel. | Making of coins. |
Sterling silver | It is composed of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. | Making of jewelry and utensils. |
Bronze | It is composed of 83% copper, 12% tin, and 5% other metals such as manganese and aluminum. | Making of electrical connectors. |
Brass | It is composed of 34% zinc and 66 % copper. | Making of utensils and decorative items. |

A 1000 ppm Zn solution was prepared by dissolving the necessary amount of solid Zn(NO3)2 in water. The standards can be prepared by diluting the 1000 ppm Zn solution. Table 1 shows one possible set of serial dilutions (stepwise dilution of a solution) that Reagan could perform to make the necessary standards. Solution A was prepared by diluting 5.00 ml of the 1000 ppm Zn standard to 50.00 ml. Solutions C-E are called "calibration standards" because they will be used to calibrate the atomic absorption spectrometer.
