A scientist has two kinds of solutions. The first solution is Solution A, which is an $80\%$ acid solution. The second solution

is Solution B, which is a $30\%$ acid solution. (a) Find the amount of Solution A (in mL) that must be added to $500$ mL of Solution B in order to produce a $70\%$ acid solution. (b) Find the amount of Solution A and Solution B (in mL) that can be combined in order to form a $100$ mL solution that is $50\%$ acid. (c) Does there exist a combination of Solution A and Solution B that is $90\%$ acid?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a ) Let the volume required be v .

v x .8 + 500 x .3 / ( v + 500 ) = .7

.8 v + 150 = .7 v + 350

.1 v = 200

v = 2000 mL

b )

Let the volume of solution A  required be v . The volume of solution of B required will be 100 - v

v x .8 + ( 100 - v ) x .3 / 100 = .5

.8 v + 30 - .3 v = 50

.5 v = 20

v = 40 mL

volume of solution B = 60 mL .

c )

It is not possible because 90 % is more than 80 % the concentration of solution A . Any mixture will have concentration less than 80 % .

volume of solution B = 60 mL

What is the slope of the line passing through the points ( −3 , 4 ) and ( 4, −1 )?
ziro4ka [17]
Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-1 - 4)/(4 - (-3)) = -5/(4 + 3) = -5/7

Accelerating is not an option in executing a decision. True or false
stiv31 [10]

Accelerating is not an option in executing a decision.

This is false.

Accelerating or driving in high speed does not specify any execution of any sort of action or decision. Rather it can depend on the course of driving like changing lanes or something related to emergency.
