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.

Cody is designing a pattern for a wood floor the length of the pieces of wood are 1 1/2 inches 1 13/16 inches and 2 1/8 inches w
erastovalidia [21]

Well, you only listed three pieces so far.  But I can already see a
pattern emerging from those three.

Of course, the next piece might return to 1-1/2 inches.  I mean,
the pattern can't just keep on going and increasing forever or
Cody would eventually wind up with pieces that are a mile long. 
It must eventually return to 1-1/2 inches and start over from there.

From the first piece to the second one, and from the second one
to the third one, the increase is  5/16 inch both times.  So if the
pattern is more than three pieces long before it starts over from
1-1/2, then the next piece is

             (2-1/8 + 5/16) = (2-2/16 + 5/16)  =  2-7/16 inches .

6) What are ED and FD?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

ED = 12 and FD = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

The perpendicular distance between the three parallel lines are same i.e. AB = BC = 8

Therefore, the parallel lines will divide any transverse line ( say FD ) in 1 : 1 ratio i.e. will divide equally.

Therefore, FE = ED = 12 units.

Again, FD = FE + ED = 12 + 12 = 24 units. (Answer)
