As we know,
                    Density of Benzene  =  876 Kg/m³
And,
                    Density of Water       =  997 Kg/m³
So,
     Specific Gravity is calculated as,

                     Specific Gravity  =  Density of Benzene / Density of Water

                     Specific Gravity    =   876 Kg/m³ / 997 Kg/m³

                     Specific Gravity    =  0.878

Every object having specific gravity less than 1 will float on water and if value is greater than 1 then it will sink.

Benzene being non-polar in nature does not mix with water and due to less density it will float on the surface of water.

a technician mixes 80 ml of a 5% solution with 10 ml of water. what is the final percentage strength of the solution prepared?
Vinvika [58]

A technician mixes 80 ml of a 5% solution with 10 ml of water.  the final percentage strength of the solution prepared is 40 %.

given that :

8 ml of a 5 % solution mix with 10 ml . that means the 80 mL of 5 % solution is diluted with water of 10 mL

therefore, 80 × 5 = 10 × x %

x % = 40 %

Therefore, the final percentage strength of the solution is 40 %

Thus, A technician mixes 80 ml of a 5% solution with 10 ml of water.  the final percentage strength of the solution prepared is 40 %.

Raw materials used in the manufacturing of indigenous soap
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Fat

Alkali

Explanation:

Fat and alkali are the two primary raw materials needed to manufacture soap.

Sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide is generally used as an alkali. The use of alkali depends on the intended application of the soap.

Raw animal fat was used in the past but these days, processed fat is used in the soap manufacturing process. Vegetable fats ( e.g, palm oil, olive oil, coconut oil) are also being used in soap manufacturing.

Additives are also used to enrich the color and texture of the soap.
