Complete question :

A jeweler has five rings, each weighing 18 g, made of an alloy of 10% silver and 90% gold. She decides to melt down the rings and add enough silver to reduce the gold content to 75%. How much silver should she add?

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given the following :

Weight of each alloy = 18g

Initial % of Silver = 10% = 0.1

Initial % of Gold = 90% = 0.9

New % of gold = 75% = 0.75

Hence, new % of silver will be (1 - 0.75) = 0.25

Let the amount of silver to be added = s

Hence,

Initial gold content = final gold content + added silver

18 * 0.9 = 0.75(18 + s)

16.2 = 13.5 + 0.75s

16. 2 = 13.5 + 0.75s

16.2 - 13.5 = 0.75s

2.7 = 0.75s

s = 2.7 / 0.75

s = 3.6

S = 3.6

Hence the amount of silver needed per ring in other to reduce the gold content = 3.6g

Total for the 5 rings = (3.6 * 5) = 18g

A student plans a two-step synthesis of 1-ethyl-3-nitrobenzene from benzene. The first step is nitration of benzene to give nitr
arlik [135]

Answer:

Nitrobenzene is too deactivated (by the nitro group) to undergo a Friedel-Crafts alkylation.

Explanation:

The benzene ring in itself does not easily undergo electrophilic substitution reaction. Some groups activate or deactivate the benzene ring towards electrophilic substitution reactions.

-NO2 ia a highly deactivating substituent therefore, Friedel-Crafts alkylation of nitrobenzene does not take place under any conditions.

This reaction scheme is therefore flawed because Nitrobenzene is too deactivated (by the nitro group) to undergo a Friedel-Crafts alkylation.

A condor has a wing span of 3.05 m. What is the wing span in feet
romanna [79]

Answer:

The condor has a wing span of 10 feet

Explanation:

This can be solved by a simple rule of three

In a rule of three problem, the first step is identifying the measures and how they are related, if their relationship is direct of inverse.

When the relationship between the measures is direct, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure is going to increase too. In this case, the rule of three is a cross multiplication.

When the relationship between the measures is inverse, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure will decrease. In this case, the rule of three is a line multiplication.

In this problem, our measures are the wing span of the condon in meters and the wing span of the condor is feet. As the value of one of these measures increases, the other is going to increase too.

We know that 1m has 3.281 feet,

So we have the following rule of three:

1m - 3.281 feet

3.05m - x feet

x = 3.821*3.05

x = 10 feet

The condor has a wing span of 10 feet

Why is this image a good model for the Law of Conservation of Mass?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions. Since the number and type of atoms in the reactant side of the chemical equation are the same as on the product side, the Law of Conservation of Mass has been demonstrated.

Explanation:
