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.

Give the formula for an ionic compound formed from each pair of ions
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Please, find the complete question in the picture attached.

Answer:

1. Na₂O

2. AlF₃

3. MgO

4. Ca₃P₂

Explanation:

1. Na⁺ and O²⁻

An ionic compound will be formed when two ions of opposite charge attract each other.

The positive ion is called cation and the negative ion is called anion.

Thus, every ionic compound has a cation and an anion electrostatically bonded.

The ions must combine in a proportion that genders a neutral compound: so you must have as many cations as negative charge has one anion and as many anions as positive charge has one cation.

This is, if the cation has charge +x, there will be x anions, and if the anion has charge -y, there will be y cations.

Simbolically:

Cation:A^{+x}\\ \\ Anion:B^{-y}\\ \\ Compound:A_yB_x

As you see, the subscripts for each element in the chemical formula are obtained by the exchage of the charges of the ions.

Then, for Na⁺ and O²⁻, the subscript for Na will be 2 and the subscript for O will be 1; and the formula of the ionic compound formed by this pair ot ions is:

  • Na₂O

2. Al³⁺ and F⁻

  • The subscript of Al will be 1 (because the F ion has charge 1-, and the subscript of F will be 3 (because the Al ion has charge +3).

Thus the ionic compound formed by this pair of ions is:

  • AlF₃

3. Mg²⁺ and S²⁻

  • The charge 2+ from Mg atom wil become the subscript 2 of S atom, and the charge 2- will become the subscript 2 of Mg atom:

That results in the formula: Mg₂S₂

Except for some special compounds, the chemical formula is simplified, dividing by the least common denominator. In this case, that means that the two 2 subscripts are simplified to 1, and the final chemical formula for the ionic compound formed by this pair of ions is:

  • MgO

4. Ca²⁺ and P³⁻

  • The charge 2+ from Ca will become subscript 2 for P and the charge 3- whill become subscript 3 for Ca.

Hence, the ionic compound formed by these two ions is:

  • Ca₃P₂

In the mathematical equation showing that pressure (P) multiplied by volume (V) remains equal to a constant (k) pressure and vol
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Inversely

Explanation:

pV = k

When p increases, V must decrease for k to remain constant.

When V increases, p must decrease for k to remain constant.

When the product of two variables is a constant, they are inversely proportional  to each other.
