A science teacher has a supply of 5% hydrochloric acid and a supply of 65% hydrochloric acid(HC1). How much of each solution sho

uld the teacher mix together to get 42 mL of 45% HC1 for an experiment?
a. The teacher will need 14 mL of the 5% solution and 28 mL of the 65% solution.
b. The teacher will need 28 mL of the 5g solution and 14 mL of the 65% solution.
c. The teacher will need 14 of mL of both solutions.
d. The teacher will need 28 mL of both solutions.

Assume that the amount needed from the 5% solution is x and that the amount needed from the 65% solution is y.

We are given that, the final solution should be 42 ml, this means that:
x + y = 42 ...........> equation I
This can also be written as:
x = 42-y .......> equation II

We are also given that the final concentration should be 45%, this means that:
5% x + 65% y = 45% (x+y)
0.05x + 0.65y = 0.45(x+y)


We have x+y = 42 from equation I, therefore:
0.05x + 0.65y = 0.45(42)
0.05x + 0.65y = 18.9 .........> equation III

Substitute with equation II in equation III as follows:
0.05x + 0.65y = 18.9
0.05(42-y) + 0.65y = 18.9
2.1 - 0.05y + 0.65y = 18.9
0.6y = 18.9 - 2.1
0.6y = 16.8
y = 28 ml

Substitute with y in equation II to get x as follows:
x = 42-y
x = 42 - 28
x = 14 ml

Based on the above calculations:
amount of 5% solution = x = 14 ml
amount of 65% solution = y = 28 ml
The correct choice is:
The teacher will need 14 mL of the 5% solution and 28 mL of the 65% solution.

(a) Cup A has a diameter of 10 cm. and a height of 20 cm. Find the Volume of Cup A.
Oksana_A [137]

The volume of cup A is 1570.8 cm³ while the volume of cup B is 6283 cm³

<h3>Volume</h3>

Volume is the amount of space occupied by a three dimensional object or figure.

The cup has the shape of a cylinder, the volume is:

Volume = π * radius² * height

For cup A:

Volume = π * (10/2)² * 20 = 1570.8 cm³

Let each punch be 1 cm³, the number of cups needed = 1570.8 cm³ / 1 cm³ = 1571

For cup B:

Volume = π * (20/2)² * 20 = 6283 cm³

Let each punch be 1 cm³, the number of cups needed = 6283 cm³ / 1 cm³ = 6283

The volume of cup A is 1570.8 cm³ while the volume of cup B is 6283 cm³
