Solution contains 45% salt
She wants to obtain 180 ounces of a mixture that is 30% salt
Ounces of water with 45% salt solution = ?
30% = 0.3 and 45% = 0.45
Let V is the volume of water to be mixed in ounces, then the volume of the 45% salt solution needed is 180-V
The balanced equation for the mass of salt is
0.45 x (180-V) = 0.3 x 180
81 – 0.45V = 54
0.45V = 81-54
0.45V = 27
V = 60
<span>So, 60 ounces of water is needed</span>

BabaBlast [244]
Molar mass  Cu(OH)₂ =  <span>97.561 g/mol

1 mol --------- 97.561 g
? mol ---------- 68 g

moles = 68 * 1 / 97.561

moles = 68 / 97.561

= 0.6969 moles

describe in general terms an experiment to determine the molal freezing point depression constant kf of water. Assume the availa
Dvinal [7]
A solution (in this experiment solution of NaNO₃) freezes at a lower temperature than does the pure solvent (deionized water). The higher the solute concentration (sodium nitrate), freezing point depression of the solution will be greater.
Equation describing the change in freezing point: 
ΔT = Kf · b · i.
ΔT - temperature change from pure solvent to solution.
Kf - the molal freezing point depression constant.
b -  molality (moles of solute per kilogram of solvent).
i - Van’t Hoff Factor.
First measure freezing point of pure solvent (deionized water). Than make solutions of NaNO₃ with different molality and measure separately their freezing points. Use equation to calculate Kf.
