\(1 \mathrm{~g}\) of silver gets distributed between \(10 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}\) of molten zinc and \(100 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}\) of molten lead at \(800^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The percentage of silver in the zinc layer is approximately

  1. A 89
  2. B 91
  3. C 97
  4. D 94
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 97

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Concentration of Ag in zinc \(=\frac{x}{10}\)
\(\therefore\) Concentration of \(\mathrm{Ag}\) in \(\mathrm{Pb}=\frac{1-\mathrm{x}}{100}\)
\[
\frac{\frac{x}{10}}{\frac{1-x}{100}}=300
\]
On solving, we get \(\mathrm{x}=97 \%\)
