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

Need answer to 2/3+5/4
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

23/12 or 1 and 11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Your first step is that you need to gain a common denomitor. In this scenario, this is 12. To get this, you can either go through the given factors such as 3 having the factors of 6, 9, and 12 and 4 having the factors of 8, and 12.

Another method is the multiply the two given denominators together, but there are certain instances where you shouldn't do that.

Now that you have a common denominator, you need to change the numerators to accomadate the denominators. For 3 to turn into 12, you need to multiply it by 4, thus you have to do the same to the numerator. For 4 to turn into 12, you need to multiply it by 3. This will give you these two new fractions:

8/12 + 15/12

Add the numerators to get 23/12 and then simplify the two numbers to get the mixed number of 1 and 11/12.

Hope this helps!
