False Alkaline earth metals is group 2
Answer:
70 mL of 5% HCl and 30 mL of 15% HCl
Explanation:
We will designate x to be the fraction of the final solution that is composed of 5% HCl, and y to be the fraction of the final solution that is composed of 15% HCl. Since the percentage of the final solution is 8%, we can write the following expression:
5x + 15y = 8
Since x and y are fractions of a total, they must equal one:
x + y = 1
This is a system of two equations with two unknowns. We will proceed to solve for x. First, an expression for y is found:
y = 1 - x
This expression is substituted into the first equation and we solve for x.
5x + 15(1 - x) = 8
5x+ 15 - 15x = 8
-10x = -7
x = 7/10 = 0.7
We then calculate the value of y:
y = 1 - x = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3
Thus 0.7 of the 100 mL will be the 5% HCl solution, so the volume of 5% HCl we need is:
(100 mL)(0.7) = 70 mL
Similarly, the volume of 15% HCl we need is:
(100 mL)(0.3) = 30 mL
There is the same overall number of atoms of each element on the reactants side as on the products side, they are simply rearranged. Also, mass is conserved as atoms cannot be created or destroyed by a chemical reaction.
