Answer:

25 milliliters of the 10% solution.

Explanation:

Clayton intends to combine x milliliters of a 10% saline solution by mass with y milliliters of a 20% saline solution by mass to produce an 18% saline solution by mass. The relationship can be expressed as:

0.1 x + 0.2 y = 0.18 (x + y)   [1]

If Clayton uses 100 milliliters of the 20% saline solution, how much 10% saline solution should he mix?

Given y = 100 mL, what is the value of x?

Let's solve equation [1] for "x" and substitute y = 100:

0.1 x + 0.2 y = 0.18 (x + y)

0.1 x + 0.2 y = 0.18 x + 0.18 y

0.02 y = 0.08 x

x = 0.25 y = 0.25 × 100 mL = 25 mL

A characteristic feature of any form of chromatography is the ________.a. calculation of an Rf value for the molecules separated
castortr0y [923]

Answer: The right choice is (c) application of both a mobile phase and a stationary phase.

Explanation:

Chromatography: This refers to a technique for separating a mixture where the mixture is distributed between two phases at varying rates, one being stationary and the other moving.

Mobile phase: The component in which the mixture is dissolved is referred to as the mobile phase.

Stationary phase: This is an adsorbent medium that remains in place while a liquid or gas passes over its surface, thus remaining stationary.

Consequently, a key characteristic of any chromatography technique involves utilizing both a mobile and a stationary phase.

How many protons neutrons and electrons are there in a neutral atom of 43k (potassium-43)?
castortr0y [923]

Answer:

             Protons: 19

             Neutrons: 25

             Electrons: 19

Explanation:

Protons:

                   The atomic number determines the number of protons in an atom. Consequently, with Potassium's atomic number being 19, it contains 19 protons.

Neutrons:

                   The formula to find neutrons is:

                           # of Neutrons  =  Atomic Mass - # of Protons

Given:

                                Atomic Mass  =  43

                                # of Protons  =  19

Thus,

                                # of Neutrons  =  43 - 19

                                # of Neutrons  =  24

Electrons:

                                   In a neutral atom, the quantity of electrons matches that of protons. Therefore, a neutral Potassium atom with 19 protons must equally have 19 electrons.

What features of this model will help Armando answer the question?
lions [985]

Answer:

The adjustable legs along with the sand table.

Note: The question is incomplete. The full question is presented below.

Using Models to Address Questions Regarding Systems

Armando’s class was examining images of rivers shaped by flowing water. Most rivers appeared wide and shallow, except for one, which was narrow and deep. The students theorized that this river's narrowness and depth are due to:

  • the steepness of the hill from which the water descends, or
  • the diminutive size of the sand grains the water flows through.

To explore the answer to the question of why this river is so narrow and deep, Armando created the model outlined below.

Explanation:

The model constructed by Armando will facilitate addressing the question due to specific features:

1. Adjustable leg - as one theory proposed by the class suggests that the steep hill affecting the water's path could be the reason for the river's dimensions, the adjustable legs are designed to be raised or lowered to alter the slope, allowing testing of this theory.

2. Sand table - this acts as the streambed. By modifying the size of the sand grains, students can examine the second hypothesis that smaller sand grains contribute to the river's narrowness and depth.

The outcomes of their experimentation will lead them to a conclusion.

Bonds between two atoms that are equally electronegative are _____. bonds between two atoms that are equally electronegative are
Alekssandra [968]
When two atoms with equal electronegativity bond together, they form nonpolar covalent bonds.

Your second statement mirrors the first; the second statement likely reads, "Bonds between two atoms with unequal electronegativity are termed polar covalent bonds."

For which applications would you choose a liquid over a gas or solid?
Alekssandra [968]

Solution:

Washing Clothes & Dissolving Sugar

Clarification:

Consider each scenario:

1) For washing clothes, water is essential; without it, washing is ineffective.

2) Connecting brake pedals to brake pads requires solids, not liquids.

3) To deodorize a space, one would likely reach for an aerosol spray, which is a gas.

4) Sculpting involves solid tools and a solid medium.

5) Dissolving sugar necessitates a liquid to be effective!

6) While one might assert that paint is a liquid, it still might not fit the category; I would categorize this application as solid.

7) Gears employed in machinery are solid components!
