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).

Answer:

The isopropanol evaporated while the water did not because the molecules don't stick together as strongly as the molecules in the water do. The water would need more energy transferred in, in order to evaporate.

Explain how lithium atom is positive charge​
yulyashka [42]
Lithium is an element that has an electronic configuration of 2,1. So when forming bonds, it tries to release one of its electrons in the last shell to reach the octet state. Normally when atoms release electrons they get positive charge since the number of protons which bear positive charge, is higher than number of electrons which bear negative charge. So when reaching its octet state, lithium gains positive charge!

Hope this helps! Tbh am not good at explaining. If u have any doubts, ask me!
