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.

The sum of two numbers is 79,and their difference is 33

Answer: infinite answers, jk there is like a lot tho

Step-by-step explanation: The sum of x and y is 79. In other words, x plus y equals 79 and can be written as equation A:

x + y = 79

The difference between x and y is 23. In other words, x minus y equals 23 and can be written as equation B:

x - y = 23

Now solve equation B for x to get the revised equation B:

x - y = 23

x = 23 + y

Then substitute x in equation A from the revised equation B and then solve for y:
