A50% antifreeze solution is to be mixed with a 90% antifreeze solution to get 200 liters of a 80% solution. how many liters of the 50% solution and how many liters of the 90% solution will be used?

50 ltr 150 ltr

Explanation:

this problem can be solved by the mixture and allegation concept which can be clearly understand from bellow figure in which the concentration of solution 1 is 50% and concentration of solution 2 is 90% before mixing after mixing with help bellow concept the ratio of concentration become 10:30

ratio of solution 1 and solution 2 =10:30

                                                     =1:3

total mixture is 200 liters

part of solution 1= ×200

                           =50 liters

part of solution 2= ×200

                           =150 liters

the answer is true.

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
