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!

How many moles of sodium atoms do you have if you have 5.60 ~
Papessa [141]

Answer:

0.93 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Na atom = ?

Number of atoms = 5.60× 10²³

Solution:

Avogadro number:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance. The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

5.60× 10²³ atoms ×  1 mol / 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

0.93 mol

Tanzania [10]

(p1)(V1)/(T1) = (p2)(V2)/(T2)
(1.00 atm)(V) / (273 + 25K) = (40.0 atm)(V/10) / (273 + T)
273 + T = (40.0)(1/10)(273 + 25K) / (1.00)
T = 919°C

HURRRYYY <br> in a chemical reaction you will always have an excess reactant. true or false?
just olya [345]

Answer:

It's False

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, reactants that are not used up when the reaction is finished are called excess reagents. The reagent that is completely used up or reacted is called the limiting reagent, because its quantity limits the amount of products formed.

Hope this helps you

Mrrafil [7]

The deforestation of tropical rainforest trees to create farms and pastures, and to harvest trees for construction has increased soil erosion.

<h3>WHAT IS DEFORESTATION:</h3>
  • Deforestation is the process whereby trees are cut down for commercial purposes e.g. lumbering for paper production.

  • Rainforest is a vegetation characterized by trees and shrubs. However, these trees serve as soil cover and help prevent soil erosion.

This means that deforestation of tropical rainforest trees to create farms and pastures, and to harvest trees for construction has increased soil erosion
