Answer:

437.5 kg of first solution and 812.5 kg of second solution should be mixed to get desired solution.

Explanation:

Let the mass of the first solution be x and second solution be y.

Amount solution required = 1250 kg

x + y = 1250 kg....[1]

Percentage of ethanol in required solution = 12% of 1250 kg

Percentage of ethanol in solution-1 = 5% of x

Percentage of ethanol in required solution = 25% of y

5% of x +  25% of y =12% of 1250 kg

\frac{5}{100}\times x+\frac{25}{100}y=\frac{12}{100}\times 1250 kg

x + 5y = 3000 kg...[2]

Solving [1] and [2] we :

x = 437.5 kg   , y =  812.5 kg

437.5 kg of first solution and 812.5 kg of second solution should be mixed to get desired solution.

What are the two different ions present in the compound al(no3)3?
Aleks [24]

Al^{3+} and NO_3^{-}

Aluminum nitrate is an ionic compound, meaning that it is made up cations and anions. By convention when writing the formula for an ionic compounds the cation part shall be placed in front the anions. Thus the cation would contain aluminum and the anion shall be a polyatomic nitrate ion consisting of nitrogen and oxygen. The bracket with subscript 3 attached resembles the ratio between the two species, aluminum ions and nitrate ions. For each aluminum ion in the compound there shall be three corresponding nitrate ions.

Aluminum form ions of charge +3 whereas nitrate ions are of charge -1. Write the charge of the ion as the superscript in reverse (i.e., write 3+ as in Al^{3+} and - in NO_3^{-}, omitting any 1.)
