A material system contains 65 "A" atoms and 35 "B" atoms, and the B atoms are 18 times as massive as the A atoms (the mass of a B atom is 18x higher than an A atom). What is the composition of this system in terms of at% B?

Answer:

The system has 35% of B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of A atoms = 65

Number of B atoms = 35

Mass of atom A = M

Mass of atom B = 18M

Total atoms of the system = 65 + 35= 100

Total of atoms of B = 35

The percentage of B is the system ;


=(35M)/(100M)* 100=35\%

The system has 35% of B.
