Answer: 250


Explanation:


You work this problem by using proportions.


A proportion is the equalization of two ratios.


Here you assume that the ratio of fish with tags to total fish that you catch is the same than the ratio of fish with tags to total fish in the pond.


Mathematically:

  • 5 fish with tag / 25 fish = 50 fish with tag / x
  • 5 / 25 = 50 / x

Solve for x:

  • Multiplication property of equality: x × 5 = 50 × 25
  • Division property of equality: x = 50 × 25 / 5
  • Result: 250

<h2>Answer:</h2>

There are total 250 fishes in pond.          

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

According to given data:

Total number of tagged fishes in the pond = 50

total number of fishes in pond = x = ?

Solution:

Ratio of total fishes to tagged fishes = x/50

You catch 5 tagged fishes out of total caught 25 fishes.

So ratio of total fishes to tagged fishes = 25/5

AS the ratio of total fishes to tagged fishes remains same in whole pond so:

            Whole pond ratio = Ratio of caught fishes

                                 x/50 = 25/5

                               =     x   =  25/5 * 50

                               =     x  =  250

Hence x is the total number of fiches in pond. So its calculated value is 250. It means there are total 250 fishes in pond.

What happens when The vapour obtained by dropping conc. H2SO4 in a mixture of KI and MnO2 is treated with hypo solution​
Shalnov [3]

Iodine is decolorized.

The first reaction stated in the question occurs as follows;

2 KI (aq) + 2 H2SO4 (aq) + MnO2 (s) → MnSO4 (aq) + K2SO4 (aq) + I2 (s) + 2 H2O (l)

The reaction here is the formation of iodine from MnO2 and KI in the presence of dropwise H2SO4.

Hypo is the common name of sodium thio-sulphate or sodium hypo-sulfite.

The equation of the titration reaction is;

2Na2S2O3 + I2→ Na2S4O6 + 2NaI

When this reaction takes place, iodine is decolorized due to its reduction to I^-.
