A solution that is 20% acid and 80% water is mixed with a solution that is 50% acid and 50% water. If twice as much 50% acid sol

ution is used as 20% solution, then what is the ratio of acid to water in the mixture of the solutions?

Answer:

The ratio acid to water in the mixture is 2:3

Explanation:

Let the volume of 20% acid solution used to make the mixture = x units

So, the volume of 50% acid solution used to make the mixture = 2x units

Total volume of the mixture = x + 2x = 3x units

For 20% acid solution:

C₁ = 20% , V₁ = x

For 50% acid solution :

C₂ = 50% , V₂ = 2x

For the resultant solution of sulfuric acid:

C₃ = ? , V₃ = 3x

Using

<u>C₁V₁ + C₂V₂ = C₃V₃</u>

20×x + 50×2x = C₃×3x

So,

20 + 50×2 = C₃×3

Solving

120 = C₃×3

C₃ = 40 %

Thus, for the resultant mixture,

<u>Acid percentage = 40%</u>

<u>Water percentage = (100 - 40)% = 60%</u>

<u>Ratio acid to water in the mixture = 40:60 = 2:3</u>

If hydrochloric acid has a [H+] of 1.2 x 10-2 M, what is the pH?<br> 1.9<br> 0 1<br> 1.2<br> O<br> 8
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

<h2>1.9</h2>

Explanation:

The pH of a solution can be found by using the formula

pH = - log [ {H}^{+} ]

From the question we have

pH =  -  log(1.2 \times  {10}^{ - 2} )  \\  = 1.920818...

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.9</h3>

Hope this helps you

Using wolfram alpha or some other reference, determine which of these elements would be liquid at 525 k (assume samples are prot
romanna [79]
The choices for this problem are bismuth, Bi; platinum, Pt; selenium, Se; calcium, Ca and copper, Cu. I think the correct answer would be selenium. The melting point of bismuth is at a temperature of 544.4 Kelvin. At a temperature of 525 K, it would exist as solid. Platinum melts at 2041.1 K. At 525 K, platinum would be in solid form. Selenium has a melting point at 494 K so that at a temperature of 525 K, it would exist in its liquid state. Calcium has a melting point of 1112 K so it would exist as solid at 525 K. Copper has a melting point at 1358 K, so it would still exist as solid at a temperature of 525 K. Therefore, the answer would only be selenium.

Which of the following atoms would have a charge of +1?
erica [24]

Answer: An atom with 6 protons, 5 electrons, and 7 neutrons

Explanation: In this case, neutrons do not matter as they have a charge of 0, or no charge. A proton has a charge of +1 and an electron has a charge of -1. Since there are 6 protons, the total charge of the protons would be +6. Since there are 5 electrons the total charge of the electrons would be -5. +6 - 5 would result in a charge of +1. This means that this atom would have an overall charge of + 1. Basically, if there is one more proton than electron, then the overall charge of the atom will be +1 but if there is one more electron than proton, then the overall charge of the atom will be -1.

What pressure is required to compress 156.0 liters of air at 2.00 atmosphere into a cylinder
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

option B.

Explanation:

Given,

V₁ = 156 L

P₁ =2 atm

Now, in the cylinder

P₂ = ?

V₂ = 36

Using relation between pressure and volume

\dfrac{P_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{P_2}{V_1}

\dfrac{2}{36}=\dfrac{P_2}{156}

P_2 = 8.67\ atm

Hence,  pressure is equal to 8.67 atm.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.
