Explain and show work step by step: 1. A mixture of Al2O3(s) and CuO(s) weighing  18.371 mg was heated under H2(g) in a thermogravimetric experiment. On reaching a temperature of 1000 °C, the mass was  l7A62 mg and the final products were Al2O3(s), Cu(s), and H20(g). Find the weight percent of Al2O3(s)in the original solid mixture.
