Answer:
Density is a physical property that is determined by dividing the mass of a given amount of a substance by its volume.
Explanation:
Answer:
70 mL of 5% HCl and 30 mL of 15% HCl
Explanation:
We will designate x to be the fraction of the final solution that is composed of 5% HCl, and y to be the fraction of the final solution that is composed of 15% HCl. Since the percentage of the final solution is 8%, we can write the following expression:
5x + 15y = 8
Since x and y are fractions of a total, they must equal one:
x + y = 1
This is a system of two equations with two unknowns. We will proceed to solve for x. First, an expression for y is found:
y = 1 - x
This expression is substituted into the first equation and we solve for x.
5x + 15(1 - x) = 8
5x+ 15 - 15x = 8
-10x = -7
x = 7/10 = 0.7
We then calculate the value of y:
y = 1 - x = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3
Thus 0.7 of the 100 mL will be the 5% HCl solution, so the volume of 5% HCl we need is:
(100 mL)(0.7) = 70 mL
Similarly, the volume of 15% HCl we need is:
(100 mL)(0.3) = 30 mL
The relative mass of each element can be found from the periodic table (the larger number). For instance, P2O5, P = 31.0 O = 16.0, thus the formula mass (Mr) is 2(31) + 5(16) = 142 amu (atomic mass unit). I used a not really specific periodic table. Maybe your teacher is referring to open Schoology (a website where teacher can post files or announcements to students in his or her class). Sorry if i got something mistaken.
