Mixture Problem A jeweler has five rings, each weigh- ing 18 g, made of an alloy of 10% silver and 90% gold. She decides to melt

down the rings and add enough silver to reduce the gold content to 75%. How much silver should she add?

8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Total weight of 5 rings

= 18 x 5

= 90 g

silver = 10% of 90 g

= 9 g

gold = 81 g

Let silver added = x gm

Total weight = 90 +x

75% of (90+x) is gold

= 3/4 x  (90+x)g is  gold

So  3/4 x  (90+x)  = 81

(90+x)  = 81 x 4 / 3

= 108

x = 18 g

silver to be added = 18g .

Sodium hydrogen carbonate, on heating, produces sodium carbonate, water and carbon dioxide.
RoseWind [281]

The mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate : 10.5 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

1.5 dm' of CO₂

1 mol gas= 24 L at RTP(25 °C, 1 atm)

Required

the mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate

Solution

Decomposition reaction of Sodium hydrogen carbonate :

2 NaHCO₃ (s) ⇒ Na₂ CO₃ (s) + H₂ O(g) + CO₂ (g)

mol CO₂ :

\tt mol=\dfrac{1.5}{24}=0.0625

From the equation, mol ratio of NaHCO₃ : CO₂ (g) = 2 : 1, so mol NaHCO₃ :

\tt 2\times 0.0625=0.125

Mass NaHCO₃(MW=23+1+12+3.16=84 g/mol) :

\tt mass=mol\times MW\\\\mass=0.125\times 84\\\\mass=10.5

Define international system of units , where does the system originate
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The International System of Units (SI) is originated in France by frenches and originally was called a metric system of measurements. It provides definitions of various units of measurement such as weight, distance, electric current, temperature, and others which is widely accepted in the different fields of science and technology.

It is the system that is extended and derived from the french metric system of measurement is accepted in 1960 by convention 44 nation of the world to use particular unit of measurement worldwide to avoid confusion.

Can someone please help me please

Liquids have more kinetic energy in their particles compared to solids. this allows the particles to move more freely, hence why they are fluids


Liquids diffuse from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration, until equilibrium is reached


When heat is applied the particles gain more kinetic energy so they now have enough energy to overcome the bonds holding them in the liquid. this means they can evaporate off
