We need to decide which alloy will be better for a given application. The metals of choice are all Cu-base alloys because of the excellent biocide character of copper. The alloys in question are; A. Admiralty brass, B. Cupro-nickel, C. And a tin bronze. The application implies the exposure of these alloys to the following aqueous environment at 25C and a total pressure of 1 bar; a. The solution is going to be continuously stirred in open air. b. The average pH is 2.5, c. Merging residual stream from a downstream process incorporates ferrous ions creating an average concentration of 0.34wt%. d. Stannic chloride is added to maintain an average concentration of 3.5wt%. The molecular weight of Fe is 55.85g/mol and the molecular weight of Sn is 118.71g/mol. A new chemical analyses is showing a Cupric ion concentration of 5wt%. The molecular weight of Cu is 63.55g/mol. Please conduct a preliminary thermodynamic analyses to stablish the best plausible material
