Solution Summary

An allow is subjected to a selective silver dissolution. Solution provides brief and conclusion equational explanation of how to calculate the dissolution rate of a silver-20% gold allow. Expert assumes an average density of 8g/cm^3 for the alloy sample. Expert guides student on how to avoid calculation error.

Solution Preview

Volume of the alloy = 4/3 π r2 h
= 4/3 X 3.14 X 0.5 X 0.5 X 0.2 = 0.209 cm3

Density given = 8 g/cm3

Therefore, ...
