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>

Why alkali metals easly ionize
Dmitriy789 [7]
Here’s what I found:

It takes very little energy to remove that outermost electron from an alkali metal. Thus, alkali metals easily lose their outermost electron to become a +1 ion. ... In fact, as you go down the 1A column, the first ionization energies get lower and lower, making cesium the most easily ionized element on the periodic table.

So basically it’s because part of what makes alkali metals so reactive is that they have one electron in their outermost electron layer.

How many atoms does 5.06 grams of oxogen have
blagie [28]

Answer: 1.90x10²³ atoms of O

Explanation: First convert the mass of O into moles:

5.06 g O x 1 mole O / 16 g O

= 0.32 moles O

Next use Avogadro's Number to find the number of atoms of O

0.32 moles O x 6.022x10²³ atoms O / 1 mole O

= 1.90x10²³ atoms O
