<span>50 quarts of 60% solution and 50 quarts of 40% solution. You want a total of 100 quarts, so we'll use the following expressions x = amount of 60% solution (100 - x) = amount of 40% solution. The total amount of alcohol will be 0.6x + 0.4(100-x) We want the final result to be 100 quarts of 50% solution, so we express that as 0.5 * 100 Now we set them equal to each other, and solve for x 0.6x + 0.4(100-x) = 0.5 * 100 Distribute the .4 0.6x + 0.4*100 - 0.4x = 0.5 * 100 0.6x + 40 - 0.4x = 50 Subtract 40 from both sides and combine the x terms 0.2x = 10 Divide both sides by 0.2 x = 50 Now we know we need 50 quarts of the 60% solution. And we need (100 - 50) = 50 quarts of the 40% solution as well.</span>

When a saturated solution of NH4Br dissolved in 100 grams of water is cooled from 60°C to 30°C, how much NH4Br will precipitate?
stepladder [879]

Answer:

m_{precipitated}=24.8g

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since at 60 °C, 108 grams of ammonium bromide are completely dissolved in 100 grams of water for a saturated solution, once it is cooled to 30 °C, wherein only 83.2 grams are completely dissolved in 100 grams of water, the following mass will precipitate:

m_{precipitated}=108g-83.2g\\\\m_{precipitated}=24.8g

Best regards.

A rectangular fence is 3 times as long as it is wide. The perimeter is 60ft. Find the dimensions of the fence
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The length of the fence is 22.5ft and the width of the fence is 7.5ft.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will turn this question into an equation.

The equation for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2l + 2w = perimeter.

In the question we were given the perimeter so we can go ahead and plug this in.

2l + 2w = 60

In the question we are also told that the fence is 3 times as long as it is wide. This means that 1l = 3w. We can now subsitute l for 3w so that we only have one variable.

2(3w) + 2w = 60

Now we can simply use algebra to solve for w.

6w + 2w = 60

8w = 60

w = 7.5

Now that we know the value of w we can find the value of l since we know 1l = 3w.

l = 3w

l = 3(7.5)

l = 22.5

The length of the fence is 22.5ft and the width of the fence is 7.5ft.

How are metal atoms arranged according to metallic bonding ?
Paladinen [302]
Metallic bonding
Metals consist of giant structures of atoms arranged in a regular pattern. The electrons from the outer shells of the metal atoms are delocalised , and are free to move through the whole structure. This sharing of delocalised electrons results in strong metallic bonding .
