Answer:

Because it will cause you to urinate more

Explanation:

Salt like NaCl will turn into ion when absorbed. These ions will increase the osmotic pressure of the blood and in turn, will takes water around. If the volume of blood keeps increasing, it will increase the burden of heart to pump blood too. Ion also can alter electrolyte concentration and This condition can be dangerous if left without a response. The human body will try to eliminate the NaCl by filtering it using a kidney. But NaCl will take away water molecule so it increases the volume of urine you produce.

If the concentration of NaCl from the solution you drink is higher than the concentration of NaCl of the urine, you remove more water via urine than gain it from drinking.

A pharmacist wishes to strengthen a mixture from 10%alcohol to 30% alcohol. How much pure alcohol should be added to 7 liters of

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

2 litres of pure alcohol will be added to make the overall concentration of 9 litres of mixture as 30%.

Explanation:

Suppose x is the number of litres added to the 10% mixture than the quantity of new mixture is given as below

$n_{old}=7$ litres
$n_{new}=7+x$ litres

Also the quantity of alcohol is given as

$q_{old}=10 \% \, of \, 7 \, litres =0.7$

$q_{added}=x$

$q_{new}= 30 \% \,of \,new\, quantity = 0.3(7+x)$

Now the equation is as

$q_{old}+q_{added}=q_{new}\\0.7+x=0.3(7+x)\\0.7+x=2.1+0.3x\\x-0.3x=2.1-0.7\\0.7x=1.4\\x=2 \, litres$

So 2 litres of pure alcohol will be added to make the overall concentration of 9 litres of mixture as 30%.

How many atoms of hydrogen are present in 2.92 g of water?

Wittaler [7]

The molecular weight of water is <span>18.01528 g/mol.
So in 2.92 grams there are 2.92/</span>18.01528 = 0.1621 mol of particles.

1 mol contains 6,02214 × 10^<span>23 particles by definition.

So the nr of H2O molecules is </span>0.1621 * 6,02214 × 10^23 = 0,9761 × 10^23.

Every molecule has 2 H atoms, so you have to double that.

2* 0,9761 × 10^23 = 1.952 × 10^23.
