How to Calculate and Solve for Atomic Weight in Alloying | Imperfection in Solids

Last Updated on January 13, 2023

The atomic weight in alloying is represented by the image below.

To compute for atomic weight in alloying, four essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Composition of Metal 1 (C1), Composition of Metal 2 (C2), Atomic Weight of Metal 1 (A1and Atomic Weight of Metal 2 (A2).

The formula for calculating atomic weight in alloying:

Aave = 100/((C1/A1) + (C2/A2))

Where:

Aave = Atomic Weight in Alloying
C1 = Composition of Metal 1
C2 = Composition of Metal 2
A1 = Atomic Weight of Metal 1
A2 = Atomic Weight of Metal 2

Given an example;
Find the atomic weight in alloying when the composition of metal 1 is 8, the composition of metal 2 is 4, the atomic weight of metal 1 is 7 and the atomic weight of metal is 9.

This implies that;

C1 = Composition of Metal 1 = 8
C2 = Composition of Metal 2 = 4
A1 = Atomic Weight of Metal 1 = 7
A2 = Atomic Weight of Metal 2 = 9

Aave = 100/((C1/A1) + (C2/A2))
Aave = 100/((8/7) + (4/9))
Aave = 100/((1.142) + (0.444))
Aave = 100/(1.587))
Aave = 63

Therefore, the atomic weight in alloying is 63 g/mol.
