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

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Marion bought 6  frog lures and 8 lizard fishing lures.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f represent frog lures and l represent lizard lures.


The total packages Marion bought is

f+l=14...eqn1


If she bought frog lures in packages of 4 and lizard lures in packages of 6 for a total of 72 lures, then

4f+6l=72...eqn2


We make f the subject in equation 1 and put it into equation 2 to get;

f=14-l...eqn3


We put equation 3 into equation 2 to get;

4(14-l)+6l=72


\Righttarrow 2(14-l)+3l=36


We expand the bracket to get;

28-2l+3l=36


-2l+3l=36-28


l=8


We put l=8 into equation 3 to get;

f=14-8


f=6

Therefore Marion bought 6  frog lures and 8 lizard fishing lures.
