10% = 10g/100ml. Ergo, 15ml/100ml (10g) = 1500mg of KCL
.9% NACL = 9g/1000mL, Ergo = 9000mg NaCl
Now we have to figure out how many mEqs of each salt we have.
MW of NaCl = 58.5
MW of KCl = 74.5
So, in moles, we have:
1500 KCl / 74.5 = 20.13 mmol KCl
9000 NaCl / 58.5 = 153.85mmol NaCl
Because the valence of both ions is one, as an example, it would be both 20.13 mEq of Cl- and K+ from 20.13 mmoles of KCL.
So, just add the two together, 20.13 + 153.85 = 174-ish.

What’s the difference between evaluating an expression for a given value of a variable and solving an equation?

Talja [164]

The difference is that evaluating an expression for a given value is an example of let’s say In a example, the variable x is equal to 6 since 6 + 6 = 12. So it means that they are giving you the input already. SOLVING an equation is working backwards, to undo everything that has been done to the input. So you have to do the equation in order to find your answer.

\begin{array}{llll}
\stackrel{frequency}{f}\textit{ of a vibrating string varies directly}\\
\qquad \qquad \textit{with the square root of the tension }\stackrel{tension}{t}
\end{array}$

$\bf f=k\sqrt{t}\quad \textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
f=300\\
t=8
\end{cases}\implies 300=k\sqrt{8}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{300}{\sqrt{8}}=k\implies \cfrac{300}{\sqrt{2^2\cdot 2}}=k\implies \cfrac{300}{2\sqrt{2}}=k\implies \cfrac{150}{\sqrt{2}}=k
\\\\\\
\textit{and we can \underline{rationalize} it to }\cfrac{150\sqrt{2}}{2}\implies 75\sqrt{2}=k$

$\bf thus\qquad f=\stackrel{k}{75\sqrt{2}}\sqrt{t}\implies \boxed{f=75\sqrt{2t}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{now, when t = 72, what is \underline{f}?}\qquad f=75\sqrt{2(72)}$
