A certain ore is 34.4% nickel by mass. How many kilograms of this ore would you need to dig up to have 45.0g of nickel?

0.131 kg There is 34.4g of nickel per 100g ore. Use that relationship to convert between the mass of nickel and the mass of ore. 45.0g Ni × (100g ore/34.4g Ni) = 131g ore Finally, convert from grams to kilograms. 131g × (1 kg/1000g) = 0.131 kg

A mixture is made by combining 1.131.13 lb of salt and 5.155.15 lb of water. What is the percentage of salt (by mass) in this mixture?

18% Percent composition is determined by the expression %composition=(mass of component)/(total mass)×100% Divide the mass of the salt by the total mass of the salt and water. % composition=(1.13 lb)/(1.13 lb+5.15 lb)×100%=18.0%

Find the weighted average of these values. 4.00 = 75.0% 5.00 = 15.0% 6.00 = 10.0%
