Question

why are the theoretical density values of brass, bronze, and steel reported as a range of densities? how can you categorize these substances?

Answer 1

Theoretical density values

• brass-
  `8.4-8.73 gm/cm^3`

• bronze-
  `8.73 g/cm^3`

• steel-
  `7.75 - 8.05 gm/cm^3`

Step-by-step explanation:

All of these substances are alloys (a substance made from melting two or more substances, one of them usually being a metal). Brass is a combination of copper and zinc, bronze is mostly copper, tin and other non-metals as well and steel is majorly made up of iron and copper. These alloys have various uses and varying importance in different kinds of industries.
