Answer:

25 mL of the 10% solution.

Explanation:

<em>Clayton will mix x milliliters of a 10%, percent by mass saline solution with y milliliters of a 20%, percent by mass saline solution in order to create an 18%, percent by mass saline solution.</em> This can be described with the following equation:

0.1 x + 0.2 y = 0.18 (x + y)   [1]

<em>If Clayton uses 100 milliliters of the 20%, percent by mass saline solution, how many milliliters of the 10%, percent by mass saline solution must he use?</em>

If y = 100 mL, what should be the value of x?

Let's solve [1] for "x" and replace with the value of "y".

0.1 x + 0.2 y = 0.18 (x + y)

0.1 x + 0.2 y = 0.18 x + 0.18 y

0.02 y = 0.08 x

x = 0.25 y = 0.25 × 100 mL = 25 mL

A second reaction mixture was made up in the following way:
Leya [2.2K]

A. We can calculate the initial concentrations of each by the formula:

initial concentration ci = initial volume * initial concentration / total mixture volume

where,

total mixture volume = 10 mL + 20 mL + 10 mL + 10 mL = 50 mL

ci (acetone) = 10 mL * 4.0 M / 50 mL = 0.8 M

ci (H+) = 20 mL * 1.0 M / 50 mL = 0.4 M   (note: there is only 1 H+ per 1 HCl)

ci (I2) = 10 mL * 0.0050 M / 50 mL = 0.001 M

 

B. The rate of reaction is determined to be complete when all of I2 is consumed. This is signified by complete disappearance of I2 color in the solution. The rate therefore is:

rate of reaction = 0.001 M / 120 seconds

rate of reaction = 8.33 x 10^-6 M / s

Explain the relationship between plate tectonics and volcanos
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Plates sliding past each other cause friction and heat. Subducting plates melt into the mantle, and diverging plates create new crust material. Subducting plates, where one tectonic plate is being driven under another, are associated with volcanoes and earthquakes.
