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.

Which of the following is true: A. Gamma rays are too dangerous to be used in a medicinal way. B. Gamma radiation is used common
ratelena [41]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Gamma radiation penetrates the cell wall of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and can inhibit their metabolic functions as well as destroy their DNA.

Debunking the other answers:

A is incorrect as Gamma radiation is used in the treatment of cancer via radiotherapy.

B is incorrect as Gamma rays are too small and would just penetrate any smoke particles.

C is incorrect because Gamma rays are used to disinfect food products to prevent food borne illness. Irradiation is safe to use on food and does not make it radioactive.

Thus, D is correct.

slamgirl [31]

Answer: You would need 1 mole of Fluorine

Explanation:The equation is already balanced so just looking at the coefficients in the equation we can see that Sodium Chloride (2NaCl) needs two moles for this equation and fluorine (F2) only needs one.

g A piece of solid Zn metal is put into an aqueous solution of Cu(NO3)2. Write the net ionic equation for any single-replacement
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Zn(s) + Cu²⁺(aq) ⇒ Zn²⁺(aq) + Cu(s)

Explanation:

Let's consider the molecular single displacement equation between Zn and Cu(NO₃)₂

Zn(s) + Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) ⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂(aq) + Cu(s)

The complete ionic equation includes all the ions and insoluble species.

Zn(s) + Cu²⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) ⇒ Zn²⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) + Cu(s)

The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction and insoluble species.

Zn(s) + Cu²⁺(aq) ⇒ Zn²⁺(aq) + Cu(s)
