A 1.0 mole pure sample of molten tin is dissolved in a 5.0 mole pure sample of molten copper. The solution is set aside to cool and solidify. The atomic radius of tin is 140 pm and the atomic radius of copper is 128 pm. a. Identify the type of alloy that is formed. Justify your answer. b. Identify the solvent in this solution. Justify your answer.

a. Bronze

b. Copper

Explanation:

a. The alloy formed from the mixture of molten tin and molten copper, with copper having the over triple of the quantity of tin, is bronze. Although, these two metals are often not the only metals present in bronze.

b. The solvent in this mixture is molten copper. This is because, it has the larger percentage of the constituents and hence can easily allow other constituents to be dissolved in it.
