Chapter 3, Problem 3.92PAE
3.100 Some aluminum—lithium alloys display the property of superplasticity, meaning they can undergo tensile deformation by large amounts (1000 times or more) without breaking. If such an alloy has 4 wt% Li, what is its composition in mol%? Explain the relative magnitudes of the mole percentage and weight percentage based on the molar masses of aluminum and lithium.
