To obtain the desired solution:

450 mL of 85% alcohol solution is needed to obtain the desired solution.  

Calculation:

Let x be the amount of the 85% alcohol required

The volume of the resulting 70% alcohol solution will then be = x + 135 ml

135 mL of the 20% alcohol solution contains the amount of "pure" alcohol is =  0.20×135 mL.

The 85% alcohol solution contains x mL of "pure" alcohol = 0.85× x mL.

The total amount of the "pure" alcohol is the sum

=  0.20×135 + 0.85× x mL.

It should be equal to the amount of the "pure" alcohol in the mixture, which is = 0.70× (x+135) ml.

So, your "pure alcohol" equation is,  

=  0.85× x + 0.20×135 = 0.70× (x+135)

Simplify and solve it for x:

0.85x + 0.20×135 = 0.70x + 0.70×135,

0.85x - 0.70x = 0.70×135 - 0.20×135,

0.15x = 67.5

x = 67.5/0.15

= 450mL.

Describe a chemical test for water-
Mila [183]

Answer:

Anhydrous copper (II) sulphate is white because it has no water in it. When drops of water are added, copper (II) sulphate turns blue. This colour change can be used to detect the presence of water (or water vapour).

A displacement reaction takes place when calcium is placed in a solution of zinc chloride. Which substances will most likely be
Karolina [17]

Hi!


The correct option would be A.


This is because the displacement reaction would take place as follows

Ca + ZnCl2 --> CaCl2 + Zn


A displacement reaction is one in which a substitution occurs, as the more reactive element in the mixture replaces one that is less reactive.

In the electrochemical series, we find Ca higher than Zn, which is indicative of Ca being more reactive, and having the capacity to displace Zn to form a compound.


Option D would be incorrect as no such substitution occurs.

Option B would be incorrect because again, there is no substitution occurring, and also because two metals alone (Ca and Zn in our case) can never react to form a compound.

Option C would be incorrect because it is not possible because CaCl and ZnCl are forms that are too unstable to exist due to an overall positive charge.


Hope this helps!
