First step is to calculate the mass of Ag in each compound separately:
From the periodic table: 
molar mass of Ag is 107.87 gm
molar mass of Cl is 35.45 gm
molar mass of Br is 79.9 gm
For AgCl, mass % of Ag = [107.87/143.32] x 100 = 75.26%
For AgBr, mass % of Ag = [107.87/187.77] x 100 = 57.45 %

Second step is to calculate the mass % of each compound in the mixture:
Assume mass % of AgCl is y and that of AgBr is (1-y) as the total percentage is 100% or 1
0.6094 = 0.7526 y + 0.5745 (1-y)
y = 0.8716
This means that the mixture is almost 87% AgCl and 13% AgBr
The mass % of chlorine and bromine together is (100%-60.94%) which is 39.06%
mass % of chlorine = (1-0.6094)(0.8716) x 100 = 34.044%
mass % of bromine = 39.04 - 34.044 = 5.056%

Define and give an example of an acid and of a base.
Debora [2.8K]

A Brønsted-Lowry acid is defined as a compound that gives hydronium ions to another compound—for example, hydrochloric acid gives H+ ions to compounds it reacts with. Brønsted-Lowry bases are compounds that can accept hydronium ions—when ammonia gets a hydronium ion from HCl, it forms the ammonium ion.

What effect does salt have on a marshmallow?
Naily [24]

Answer:

The original marshmallow was named for the inclusion of marshmallow root in the recipe. The roots and leaves of the marshmallow plant contain mucilage, a slimy-textured demulcent best known for its use as a homeopathic cough suppressant. Marshmallow root is considered to be soothing and mildly antimicrobial. It has long been used as an herbal treatment for minor digestive issues and skin irritations, although its use in the creation of its namesake confection has long since fallen by the wayside.
