Answer:

8 liters of the first salt solution and 12 liters of the second salt solution is needed to get 20L of a solution that is 30% salt

Explanation:

Let x represent the liters of the first salt solution

Let y represent the liters of the second salt solution

x + y= 20......equation 1

x= 20-y

The first solution is 20% salt and the second solution is 45% salt

20/100x + 45/100 y= 30/100 × 20

0.2x + 0.45y= 0.3×20

0.2x + 0.45y= 6............equation 2

Substitute 20-y for x in equation 2

0.2(20-y) + 0.45y= 6

4-0.2y+ 0.45y= 6

4 + 0.25y= 6

0.25y= 6-4

0.25y= 2

y= 2/0.25

y= 8

Substitute y for 8 in equation 1

x + y= 20

x + 8=20

x= 20-8

x= 12

Hence 8 liters of the first salt solution and 12 liters of the second salt solution is needed to get 20L of a solution that is 30% salt.

Identify whether longhand notation or noble-gas notation was used in each case below.
n200080 [17]

Answer:

The given electronic configuration is long hand notation.

Explanation:

Long-hand notation of representing electronic configuration is defined as the arrangement of total number of electrons that are present in an element.

Noble-gas notation of representing electronic configuration is defined as the arrangement of valence electrons in the element. The core electrons are represented as the previous noble gas of the element that is considered.

The given electronic configuration of potassium (K):  

The above configuration has all the electrons that are contained in the nucleus of an element. Thus, this configuration is a long-hand notation.

In the combustion of hydrogen gas, hydrogen reacts with oxygen from the air to form water vapor.
Yuliya22 [10]
The balanced chemical equation is:

2H2 + O2 ---> 2H2O

We are given the amount of the product produced from the reaction. This will be the starting point for the calculations.

355 g H2O ( 1 mol H2O/ 18.02 g H2O) ( 1 mol O2 / 2 mol H2O ) ( 32 g O2 / 1 mol O2 ) = 315.205 g O2

Answer:

salt in the Dead Sea is sodium chloride

while salt in the lab is either soluble or

insoluble in water.

Explanation:

The term 'salt' in the school laboratory does not always refer to sodium chloride. It is a generic term used for many substances especially those substances formed by neutralization reaction.

There are many salts that are used in the laboratory. Some of these salts are soluble in water while some are not soluble in water.

Salt in the dead sea always refers to sodium chloride, hence, salt in the dead sea is different from salt in the school laboratory.
