A researcher performs an experiment to test a hypothesis that involves the nutrients niacin and retinol. She feeds one group of

laboratory rats a daily diet of precisely 52.4 units of niacin and 35,995 units of retinol. She uses two types of commercial pellet foods. Food A contains 0.22 unit of niacin and 170 units of retinol per gram. Food B contains 0.40 unit of niacin and 95 units of retinol per gram. How many grams of each food does she feed this group of rats each day?

Answer:

200.0 g of A, and 21.00 g of B.

Explanation:

Let's call the grams of food A as x and the grams of food B as y, so the units of niacin and retinol in food A are the units per gram multiplied by the mass:

Niacin: 0.22x, Retinol: 170x

And in food B:

Niacin: 0.40y, Retinol: 95y

The total unitis of niacin is 52.4 and of retinol is 35995, thus:

0.22x + 0.40y = 52.4

170x + 95y = 35995

Let's multiply the first equation by -772.7, and sum with the second one:

-170x - 309y = -40490

170x + 95y = 35995

---------------------------------------

-214y = -4495

y = 21.00 g of B

Thus,

0.22x + 0.40*21.00 = 52.4

0.22x = 44

x = 200.0 g of A

How a cation is formed by an atom?​
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Cations are positively charged atoms and hence we need to make the atom positively charged in order to get a cation

We know that an atom is neutral as a whole, so we have equal number of electrons and protons

since we cannot mess with the number of protons in an atom, we have to do it by altering the number of electrons

If we reduce the amount of electrons in an atom, the net charge will be positive and hence a cation will be formed
