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

Which of the following compounds has the highest pKa value? A)CCl3CH2NH2
Rudik [331]
The lower the pKa<span> of a Bronsted acid, the more easily it gives up its proton. The </span>higher<span> the </span>pKa<span> of a Bronsted acid, the more tightly the proton is held, and the less easily the proton is given up.

Here we need the highest pKa, so we need to see which compound  will less likely to give proton or hydrogen ion.

</span><span>Now, all Nitrogen contains a lone pair. But HALOGEN groups( F, Cl, only) being electronegative than NITROGEN [electronegativity of N=3, F=4 and Cl=3], pulls electron pair towards itself. 
</span>
The more the lone pair of nitrogen is pulled, the more strong bond between N and H will become, which means less likely to give hydrogen ion.
means high Pka

C) option is the answer because it has 3 F very close to N.

A chemist pours 1 mol of zinc granules into one beaker and 1 mol of zinc chloride powder into another beaker. What do the two sa
Oksana_A [137]
Answer is: <span> two samples have in common same amount of substance and same number of particles.
1) There are same amount of substance in both beakers:
n(Zn) = 1 mol.
n(ZnCl</span>₂) = 1 mol.
2) There are same number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions) in both beakers:
N(Zn) = n(Zn) · Na.
N(Zn) = 1 mol · 6.023·10²³ 1/mol = 6.023·10²³ atoms of zinc.
N(ZnCl₂) = n(ZnCl₂) · Na.
N(ZnCl₂) = 1 mol · 6.023·10²³ 1/mol = 6.023·10²³ molecules of zinc(II) chloride.
Na - Avogadro number.

Convert 1.72 moles of magnesium carbonate to formula units
snow_tiger [21]
One mole any substance contains 6.022 ₓ 10²³ particles called Avogadro's Number.

The relation between moles and number of particles is given as,

                        # of particles  =  moles ₓ Avogadro's number

In our case the particles are formula units of MgCO₃. So, 1 mole of MgCO₃ contain 6.022 ₓ 10²³ formula units, then the number of formula units in 1.72 moles are calculated as,

              # of formula units  =  1.72 mol ₓ 6.022 ₓ 10²³ formula units / mol
            
             # of formula units   =  1.035 ₓ 10²⁴ Formula Units
