Answer:

The concentration in kilograms of carbon per cubic meter of alloy is 11.8 kg/m3

Step-by-step explanation:

We will compute the concentration in kg/m3 of C in a 0.15 wt% C and 99.85 wt% Fe alloy.

The equation needed is given below:

Cc'' = Cc

------------------------------------- * 1000

(Cc/ρc) + (Cfe/ρfe)

where

Cc is the concentration of Carbon

Cfe is the concentration of Fe alloy

ρc is the densities for carbon and iron are 2.25 and 7.87 g/cm3

ρfe is the densities for carbon and iron

Cc = 0.15 wt%

Cfe = 100 - 0.15 = 99.85 wt%

ρc = 2.25 g/cm3

ρfe = 7.87 g/cm3

Cc'' = 0.15

----------------------------------------------- * 1000

(0.15/2.25) + (99.85/7.87)

Cc'' = 11.8 kg/m3
