Water is the only common substance that when you freeze it, it's volume INCREASES.

When the pipe originally held the "all full" volume and the the water expanded, it put a tremendous amount of pressure on the pipe. Enough pressure and the pipe would burst.

A mechanic needs a radiator to have 50% antifreeze solution. the radiator currently is filled with 4 gallons of 15% antifreeze s
Zanzabum

<span>let x=gallons of current mixture to be drained and replaced with pure antifreeze.
4-x=gallons of current mixture remaining in the car.</span>

<span>
0.15(4-x)+1.00x=0.50 x 4
0.6-.15x+x=2
0.85x=1.4
x=1.4/0.85 =1.65 gal

Thus, 1.65 gallons of current mixture to be drained and replaced with pure antifreeze.</span>

How many mL of a stock 50% (w/v) KNO3 solution are needed to prepare 250 mL of a 20% (w/v) KNO3 solution?
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

100ml of a stock 50% KNO3 solutions are needed to prepare 250ml of a 20% KNO3 solution.

Explanation:

In the given question it is mentioned that

     S1=50%

      V2=250ml

      S2= 20%

We all know that

                     V1S1=V2S2

                     ∴V1=  V2×S2÷S1

                     ∴V1=  V2S2×1/S1

                      ∴V1= 250×20÷50

                       ∴V1= 100ml

An electrolytic cell is set up to plate Zr(s) from a solution containing Zr4 (aq). A current of 7.92 amps is run through this so
iren [92.7K]

The mass of Zr deposited in the process is 41.4 g.

<h3>What is electrolytic cell?</h3>

An electrolytic cell is a chemical cell which produces electrical energy by non-spontaneous chemical processes.

From the question;

Zr^4+(aq) + 4e ------> Zr(s)

We know that;

91 g of Zr is deposited by 4(96500) C

xg of Zr is deposited by (7.92 × 6.16 × 60 × 60) C

xg = 91 g ×  (7.92 × 6.16 × 60 × 60) C/4(96500) C

x g = 41.4 g
