Three solutions contain a certain acid. The first contains 10% acid, the second 30%, and the third 50%. A chemist wishes to use

all three solutions to obtain a 50-liter mixture containing 32% acid. If the chemist wants to use twice as much of the 50% solution as of the 30% solution, how many liters of each solution should be used?

Answer:

To prepare 50L of 32% solution you need: 11L of 30% solution, 22L of 50% solution and 17L of 10% solution.

Explanation:

A 32% solution of acid means 32L of acid per 100L of solution. As the chemist wants to make a solution using twice as much of the 50% solution as of the 30% solution it is possible to write:

2x*50% + x*30% + y*10% = 50L*32%

<em>130x + 10y = 1600 </em><em>(1)</em>

<em>-Where x are volume of 30% solution, 2x volume of 50% solution and y volume of 10% solution-</em>

Also, it is possible to write a formula using the total volume (50L), thus:

<em>2x + x +y = 50L</em>

<em>3x + y = 50L </em><em>(2)</em>

If you replace (2) in (1):

130x + 10(50-3x) = 1600

100x + 500 = 1600

100x = 1100

<em>x = 11L -Volume of 30% solution-</em>

2x = 22L -Volume of 50% solution-

50L - 22L - 11L = 17 L -Volume of 10% solution-

I hope it helps!

Aluminum has a density of 2.70 g/mL. A sample of aluminum weighs 67.5 g. If this sample is put into a graduated cylinder that ha
romanna [79]

Answer:

60 ml

Explanation:

Now, we know that density = mass/volume

Mass of aluminium = 67.5 g

volume of aluminium =?

density of aluminium = 2.70 g/mL

volume of aluminium = mass/density = 67.5/2.70 = 25 ml

Since volume of water in the cylinder = 35 ml

The water rises to ; 35 ml + 25 ml = 60 ml

In most cases of fischer esterification, the carboxylic acid is the more "valuable" piece and the alcohol is used in excess. let
Daniel [21]
There are a lot of separation processes. To name a few, these can be distillation, centrifugation, extraction, membrane or sorption process and many other. To know which is the best technique, you should know the property between two substances that have a stark difference. In this case, it is the polarity. Ethyl alcohol is more polar than ethyl ester and less dense. Thus, these two won't mix. So, take advantage of their density difference by decantation or centrifugation.

A mixture of methane and air is capable of being ignited only if the mole percent of methane is between 5% and 15%. A mixture co
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The air 9% mole% methane have an average molecular weight of:

9%×16,04g/mol + 91%×29g/mol = 27,8g/mol

And a flow of 700000g/h÷27,8g/mol = 25180 mol/h

In the reactor where methane solution and air are mixed:

In = Out

Air balance:

91% air×25180 mol/h + 100% air×X = 95%air×(X+25180)

Where X is the flow rate of air in mol/h = <em>20144 mol air/h</em>

<em></em>

The air in the product gas is

95%×(20144 + 25180) mol/h = 43058 mol air× 21%O₂ = 9042 mol O₂ ×32g/mol = <em>289 kg O₂</em>

43058 mol air×29g/mol <em>1249 kg air</em>

Percent of oxygen is: \frac{289kg}{1249 kg} =<em>0,231 kg O₂/ kg air</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
