Concept explainers
Interpretation:
What is an alloy and examples for alloy has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Alloy:
Alloy is a solid solution, which contains two or more metals with one or more non-metals. If it is a mixture, it may be homogeneous or hertogeneous.
Metallurgy:
Metallurgy is the branch of science and technology. It is the method of separating metals from their ores and compounding of alloys.
Amalgam:
When mercury reacts with another metal the process is known as amalgamation and the product is said to be amalgam.
Explanation of Solution
- Alloy is a mixture of one or more metals in a solid form.
- Examples for alloys are amalgams, bonze, brass, steel etc., and in our daily life we have an important example that, gold jewellery which is made off alloy of a solid solution which contains gold and some silver.
The definition for an alloy and its examples were given.

- 3.44 Determine the molar mass of these ceramic materials. (a) HfN, (b) ThO2, (c) BaTiO3arrow_forwardPhosphorus occurs naturally in the form of fluorapatite, CaF2 3Ca3(PO4)2. The dot indicates 1 part CaF2 to 3 parts Ca3(PO4)2. This mineral is reacted with an aqueous solution of H2SO4 in the preparation of a fertilizer. The products are phosphoric acid, hydrogen fluoride, and gypsum, CaSO4 2H2O. Write the balanced equation describing this process.arrow_forwardDefine the bonding that exists in metals and how this model explains some of the unique physical properties of metals. What are metal alloys? Identify the two main types of alloys, and describe how their structures differ. Give several examples of each type of alloy.arrow_forward
- 4.48 Elemental phosphorous is used in the semiconductor industry. It can be obtained from an ore called fluoroapatite via reaction with SiO2 and C: 4Ca5( PO4)3F+18SiO2+30C3P4+30CO+18CaSiO3+2CaF2 Suppose a particular semiconductor production plant requires 1500 kg of P4. If the recovery of P4 from this reaction is 73% efficient, what mass of fluoroapatite is needed?arrow_forwardConsider the iron alloy described in Question 19. Suppose it is desired to prepare 1.00 kg of this alloy, what mass of each component would be necessary?arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between iron and steel?
