In a chemistry lab, you have two vinegars. one is 5% acetic acid, and one is 6.5% acetic acid. you want to make 200 ml of a vine

gar with 6% acetic acid. how many milliliters of each vinegar do you need to mix together

Assume that the amount needed from the 5% acid is x and that the amount needed from the 6.5% acid is y.

We are given that:
The volume of the final solution is 200 ml
This means that:
x + y = 200
This can be rewritten as:
x = 200 - y .......> equation I

We are also given that:
The concentration of the final solution is 6%
This means that:
5%x + 6.5%y = 6% (x+y)
This can be rewritten as:
0.05 x + 0.065 y = 0.06 (x+y) ............> equation II

Substitute with equation I in equation II and solve for y as follows:
0.05 x + 0.065 y = 0.06 (x+y)
0.05 (200-y) + 0.065 y = 0.06 (200-y+y)
10 - 0.05 y + 0.065 y = 12
0.015y = 12-10 = 2
y = 2/0.015
y = 133.3334 ml

Substitute with the y in equation I to get the x as follows:
x = 200 - y
x = 200 - 133.3334
x = 66.6667 ml

Based on the above calculations:
The amount required from the 5% acid = x = 66.6667 ml
The amount required from the 6.5% acid = y = 133.3334 ml

Hope this helps :)

To answer, let x be the volume, in mL, of the of the vinegar with 6.5% acetic acid. With this representation, the volume of the vinegar with 5% acetic acid is equal to 200-x. Using the component mass balance for acetic acid, we will have the equation,

    (0.05)(200 - x) + (0.065)(x) = (0.06)(200)

The value of x from the equation is 133.3. The value of 200-x is therefore equal to 66.67.

Answer: 5%-acetic acid vineger = 66.67 mL
              6.5% acetic acid vinegar = 133.3 mL

What role do the coefficients serve in a chemical reaction?
dem82 [27]
First one. Coefficients are numbers that balance the equation, just like if there is an equation in math where 1=2, you need to multiply 1 by 2 to make that equation true. That's a nice jingle you can remember.

what is 31/50000 If the toxic quantity is 1.5 g of ethylene glycol per 1000 g of body mass, what percentage of ethylene glycol i
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

\%m=0.15\%

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we are asked to compute the by mass percent representing the toxicity of ethylene glycol in the body mass. In such a way, since the by mass percent is computed with the shown below formula:

\%m=\frac{m_{ethylene \ glycol}}{m_{ethylene \ glycol}+m_{body\ mass}}*100\%

We can use the given masses to obtain:

\%m=\frac{1.5g}{1.5g+1000g}*100\%\\ \\\%m=0.15\%

Best regards.

Acetic acid, ch3cooh, is a weak organic acid, pka 4.47. determine the position of the equilibrium for the reaction of acetic aci
Alexeev081 [22]

Acetic acid (CH3COOH) is a weak acid while methylamine (CH3NH2) is a weak base. During an acid base reaction, an acid tends to lose a proton while a base tends to accept a proton. The reaction at equilibrium is as follows:

CH3COOH +CH3NH2↔CH3COO^{-} +CH3NH3^{+}

Hence the species in equilibrium are:

Acetate anion: CH3COO-

Methyl ammonium cation: CH3NH3+

A 60.0 mL solution of 0.112 M sulfurous acid (H2SO3) is titrated with 0.112 M NaOH. The pKa values of sulfurous acid are 1.857 (
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

a)4.51

b) 9.96

Explanation:

Given:

NaOH = 0.112M

H2S03 = 0.112 M

V = 60 ml

H2S03 pKa1= 1.857

pKa2 = 7.172

a) to calculate pH at first equivalence point, we calculate the pH between pKa1 and pKa2 as it is in between.

Therefore, the half points will also be the middle point.

Solving, we have:

pH = (½)* pKa1 + pKa2

pH = (½) * (1.857 + 7.172)

= 4.51

Thus, pH at first equivalence point is 4.51

b) pH at second equivalence point:

We already know there is a presence of SO3-2, and it ionizes to form

SO3-2 + H2O <>HSO3- + OH-

Kb = \frac{[ HSO3-][0H-]}{SO3-2}

Kb = \frac{10^-^1^4}{10^-^7^.^1^7^2} = 1.49*10^-^7

[HSO3-] = x = [OH-]

mmol of SO3-2 = MV

= 0.112 * 60 = 6.72

We need to find the V of NaOh,

V of NaOh = (2 * mmol)/M

= (2 * 6.72)/0.122

= 120ml

For total V in equivalence point, we have:

60ml + 120ml = 180ml

[S03-2] = 6.72/120

= 0.056 M

Substituting for values gotten in the equation Kb=\frac{[HSO3-][OH-]}{[SO3-2]}

We noe have:

1.485*10^-^7=\frac{x*x}{(0.056-x)}

x = [OH-] = 9.11*10^-^5

pOH = -log(OH) = -log(9.11*10^-^5)

=4.04

pH = 14- pOH

= 14 - 4.04

= 9.96

The pH at second equivalence point is 9.96
