For a certain experiment, a student requires 100 milliliters of a solution that is 8% HCl (hydrochloric acid). The storeroom has

only solutions that are 5% HCl and 15% HCl. How many milliliters of each available solution should be mixed to get 100 milliliters of 8% HCl?

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 element in Group 14 Period 4 has how many neutrons and is it a metal, nonmetal, metalloid or noble gas.
monitta

Number of neutrons=41, and it is metalloid

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Group 14⇒valence electron = 4(ns²np²)

Period 4⇒n=4

So electron configuration of the element :

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p² = 32 electron=atomic number

The element with atomic number 32, which is in period 4 and group 14 is Ge-Germanium

There are seven elements that can be classified as metalloids, namely boron (B), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), tellurium (Te), and polonium (Po).

While the mass number: 73

So the number of neutrons = mass number-atomic number

\tt 73-32=41

Are the bases on the interior or the exterior of the double helix? Are they randomly arranged or neatly stacked?
Lemur [1.5K]

the double helix is hydrogen bonded through the bases only so the bases are inside the helix only

as adenine combines with thymine and guanine with cytosine

phosphate are in the exterior of it

sugar groups constitute the double helix.

3. A PS6 plugged into a 120 V outlet uses 3 Amps. What is the Resistance rating of
blondinia [14]

Answer:

R = 40 ohms

Explanation:

Given that,

The voltage of outlet, V = 120 V

Current flowing through the device, I = 3 A

We need to find the Resistance rating of  the power cord. Let the resistance is R. We know that,

Ohm's law, V = IR

Put all the values,

R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{120}{3}\\\\R=40\ \Omega

So, the resistance rating of the power cord is equal to 40 ohms.

Who is responsible for the impacts of overfishing?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Japan, China, the U.S., Indonesia, Chinese Taipei and South Korea have been named by Pew Charitable Trusts on a “shame list” of countries responsible for overfishing tuna in the Pacific. According to Pew, the “Pacific 6” are responsible for 80 percent — 111,482 metric tons in 2011 — of the annual catch of bigeye tuna.

Hope it will help you
