Some people must eat a low-sodium diet with no more than 2,000 mg of sodium per day. By eating 1 cracker, 1 pretzel, and 1 cooki

e, a person would ingest 149 mg of sodium. If a person ate 8 pretzels and 8 cookies, he or she would ingest 936 mg of sodium. By eating 6 crackers and 7 pretzels, the person would take in 535 mg of sodium. Find the amount of sodium in each.

Answer:

The amount of sodium is 32 mg per cracker, 49 mg per pretzel and 68 mg per cookie.

Explanation:

Let's assume amount of sodium is x mg per cracker, y mg per pretzel and z mg per cookie.

So, the following three equations can be written as per given information:

x+y+z = 149 ........(1)

8y+8z = 936 ........(2)

6x+7y = 535 .........(3)

From equation- (2), y+z = \frac{936}{8} = 117

By substituting the value of (y+z) in equation- (1) we get,

                          x = 149-(y+z) = 149-117 = 32

By substituting the value of x into equation- (3) we get,

                           y = \frac{535-(6\times 32)}{7} = 49

By substituting the value of y  into equation- (2) we get,

                           z = (117-49) = 68

So, the amount of sodium is 32 mg per cracker, 49 mg per pretzel and 68 mg per cookie.

Consider the following reaction at constant pressure. Use the information provided below to determine the value of ΔS at 473 K.
Elis [28]

Answer:

The reaction will be spontaneous

Explanation:

To determine if the reaction will be spontaneous or not at this temperature, we need to calculate the Gibbs's energy using the following formula:

\Delta G= \Delta H - T * \Delta S

<u>If the Gibbs's energy is negative, the reaction will be spontaneous, but if it's positive it will not.</u>

Calculating the \Delta G= -1267 - 473 K* \Delta S :

\Delta G= -1267 - 473 K* \Delta S

Now, other factor we need to determine is the sign of the S variation. When talking about gases, the more moles you have in your system the more enthropic it is.

In this reaction you go from 7 moles to 8 moles of gas, so you can say that you are going from one enthropy to another higher than the first one. This results in: \Delta S>0[/tex}Back to this expression: [tex]\Delta G= -1267 - 473 K* \Delta S

If the variation of S is positive, the Gibbs's energy will be negative always and the reaction will be spontaneous.
