Question

The ratio of lead and tin in an alloy is 14:9, If the weight of tin in the alloy is 8,1 g, what is the weight of lead in it?​

Answer 1

Answer:

weight of lead = 49.28 g

Step-by-step explanation:

given

alloy have ratio of lead and tin 14:9

weight of alloy is 81 g

solution

let lead = 14x g

and tin = 9x g

then total alloy weight = 81 g

14x +9x = 81

23x = 81

x=81/23

x= 3.52 g

so  weight of lead = 14x = 14×3.52 = 49.28 g
