Answer:

30% constituents=20 mL

10% constituents=180 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

x= 30% volume

y=10% volume

For our first equation, we know the total volume is 200 mL and is the sum

x+y=200

y=200-x (1)

For our second equation, we do a mass balance for 200 mL of final solution.

12% w/v = 0.12 g/mL

This means that in 1 mL of solution, we have 0.12 g of NaCl.

For any solution, concentration multiplied by volume will give the mass of NaCl:

Mass in x mL= C*V (g/mL) (mL)

So in 200 mL, we have

0.12*200 (g/mL) (mL)

=24g of NaCl

Cx*Vx + Cy*Vy=24

0.3x+0.1y=24 (2)

Substitute y=200-x into (2)

0.3x+0.1(200-x)=24

0.3x+20-0.1x=24

0.2x=24-20

0.2x=4

Divide both sides by 0.2

0.2x/0.2=4/0.2

x=20

Substitute x=20 into (1)

y=200-x

y=200-20

y=180

30% constituents=20 mL

10% constituents=180 mL

Solve for b.<br> 7<br> b<br> 12<br> b= ✓ [?]<br> Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2<br> Enter
fomenos

Answer: b=\sqrt{95}

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for b, we want to use the Pythagorean Theorem as given.

b and 7 are the legs, and 12 is the hypotenuse.

7^2+b^2=12^2      [exponent]

49+b^2=144     [subtract both sides by 49]

b^2=95               [square root both sides]

b=\sqrt{95}

Now we know b=\sqrt{95}.

Find the area of a circle whose circumference measures 28 centimeters.
vagabundo [1.1K]
Assume the radius is R.

2*pi*R = 28 -> R = 14/pi

So the area will be pi*R^2 = 196/pi

There are 240 students going on a field trip each school bus can hold 48 students complete the equation to show which operation
NeTakaya
If you calculate 240/48, you will get 5 without any remainder, which means if you get 5 buses it can exactly take all students?
