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.

The hills and valleys decrease the height and speed of the ride. This means that the graph has a negative correlation.

By the way, I think you may have plotted your points incorrectly. The directions said to connect them all with a smooth line or curve.

Also, this is not high school chemistry. This is more likely to be elementary school science. Just make sure that you put your questions in the correct categories next time! :)

) Starting with 5.00 g barium chloride n hydrate yields 4.26 g of anhydrous barium chloride after heating. Determine the integer
RSB [31]

Answer:

2

Explanation:

Mass of water molecule = mass of hydrated salt - mass of anhydrous salt

Mass of water molecule = 5.00 - 4.26 = 0.74g of water molecule.

Number of moles = mass / molarmass

Molar mass of water = 18.015g/mol

No. of moles of water = 0.74 / 18.015 = 0.0411 moles.

Mass of BaCl2 present =?

1 mole of BaCl2 = 208.23 g

X mole of BaCl2 = 4.26 g

X = (4.26 * 1) / 208.23

X = 0.020

0.020 moles is present in 4.26g of BaCl2

Mole ratio between water and BaCl2 =

0.0411 / 0.020 = 2

Therefore 2 molecules of water is present the hydrated salt.

Explain the trend in atomic radius as you progress up column 17
frutty [35]
As you progress up any column on the periodic table the atomic radius gets smaller. Fluorine is a very small atom because it has very few electrons and Iodine is a very large atomic radius because it has many electrons.
