Call x the volume of first brand (9% vinegar) and y the volume of the second brand (15% vinegar).

1) Balance on vinegar content:

x*9% + y*15% = 330 * 11%

=> 9x + 15y = 3630     ---- Equation (1)


2) Balance on volume of dressing:

x + y = 330    ---- Equation (2)

3) Mulitply equation (2)

9x + 9y = 2970

4) subtract from equation (1)

=> 15y - 9y = 3630 - 2970

=> 6y = 660

=> y = 660 / 6

=> y = 110 ml

5) replace y value in the equation (2)

x + 110 = 330

=> x = 330 - 110

=> x = 220 ml.

Answer: he should use 220 ml of the first brand (9% vinegar) and 110ml of the second brand (15% vinegar).

In Step 5, you will calculate H+/OH– ratios for more extreme pH solutions. Find the concentration of H+ ions to OH– ions listed
finlep [7]

The ratio of H⁺ ions to OH⁻ ions at a pH = 2 is 10¹⁰

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

ph = 2

Required

The concentration of H⁺ and OH⁻ ions

Solution

  • The concentration of H⁺ ions

pH=-log[H⁺]

2=-log[H⁺]

[H⁺]=10⁻²

  • The concentration of OH⁻ ions

pH+pOH=14

pOH=14-2

pOH=12

pOH=-log[OH⁻]

12=-log[OH⁻]

[OH⁻]=10⁻¹²

  • The ratio of H⁺ ions to OH⁻ ions at a pH = 2

\tt \dfrac{10^{-2}}{10^{-12}}=10^{10}
