X ml - <span>25% alcohol mixture
y ml - </span><span>90% alcohol mixture

x+y = 455 

0.25x ml alcohol in </span>x ml of  25% alcohol mixture
0.9y ml alcohol in y ml of  90% alcohol mixture
0.75*455= 341.25 ml alcohol in 455 ml of  75% alcohol mixture

0.25x+0.9y=341.25 

System of equations:

x+y = 455 /*(-0.25) ------> -0.25x-0.25y = -0.25*455 
0.25x+0.9y=341.25

-0.25x-0.25y=-113.75
0.25x+0.9y=341.25    Add both equations

0.25x+0.9y-0.25x-0.25y=341.25-113.75
0.65y =227.5
y=227.5/0.65 = 350 ml  of  90% alcohol mixture

x+y=455
x+355=455
x=100 ml of  25% alcohol mixture

When the submarine's density is equal to the density of the surrounding seawater, the submarine will maintain depth. If a 103200
GaryK [48]

Answer:

2.023 m^3 is the total displacement (volume) of the submarine.

Explanation:

Mass of water carried by submarine at 1000 ft depth = m = 2100 kg

The density of seawater at 1000 ft depth = d = 1033 kg/m^3

Volume of the water displaced = V= ?

Total displacement of the submarine = Volume of the water displaced = V

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

V=\frac{m}{d}=\frac{2100 kg}{1033 kg/m^3}=2.023 m^3

2.023 m^3 is the total displacement (volume) of the submarine.

For metals like aluminum and iron, which are found naturally in nature as oxides, the refining process requires that the metals
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

reduced

Explanation:

To win the metallic product from the oxide, it demands that the metal be reduced.

During reduction a metal will:

  • gain electrons.
  • there would be removal of oxygen from the specie
  • there would be decrease in oxidation number of the atom
  • decrease in the number of electronegative atom surrounding the element.

The specie that is reduced will become the oxidant and reducing agent in the chemical reaction.
