<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>

Explain the reason for low melting and boiling point of a covalent compound ​
mylen [45]

Answer:

Covalent compounds have weak forces of attraction between the binding molecules. Thus less energy is required to break the force of bonding. Therefore covalent compounds have low melting and boiling point.

If 72.5 grams of calcium metal (Ca) react with 65.0 grams of oxygen gas (O2) in a synthesis reaction, how many grams of the exce
Natali5045456 [20]
2Ca + O2 = 2CaO
First, determine which is the excess reactant
72.5 g Ca (1 mol) =1.8089725036
(40.078 g)

65 g O2 (1 mol) =2.0313769611
(15.999g × 2)
Since the ratio of to O2 is 2:1 in the balanced reaction, divide Ca's molar mass by 2 to get 0.9044862518. this isn't necessary because Ca is already obviously the limiting reactant. therefore, O2 is the excess reactant.

Now do the stoichiometry
72.5 g Ca (1 mol Ca) (1 mol O2)
(40.078 g Ca)(2 mol Ca)(31.998g O2)

=0.0282669621 g of O2 left over
