Answer:

Explanation:

The dissolution of salt in water is basically a physical process and the law of conservation of mass which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed applies. The mass of each component before dissolution will be same after dissolution.

When one pound of salt is dissolved in 20 pounds of water, the resulting solution will weigh 1+20 pounds.

mass of solution = mass of salt + mass of water

= 1+20

mass of solution = 21 pounds

Have a nice day

Explain intermolecular forces cause water molecules to stick to a material like a glass pitcher

natulia [17]

Answer:

Cohesive forces cause the water molecules to stick together with a lot of elasticity, allowing the water to function very much like a rubber into a material like a glass pitcher.

Explain why current flowing indicates the presence of ions

seraphim [82]

Explanation:

An electron current, the flow of electrons, contributes to an electric current since the electron 'carries' negative electric charge. ... The flow of ions (either positively or negatively charged) also contributes to an electric current in, for example, the electrolyte of an electrochemical cell.

hope it will work well?!

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

Leni [432]

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.
