You need 180 ml of a 25% alcohol solution. on hand, you have a 30% alcohol mixture. how much of the 30% alcohol mixture and pure water will you need to obtain the desired solution?

150 mL of the 30% alcohol mixture and 30 mL of the pure water will we need to obtain the desired solution.

Explanation:

Let the volume of 30% alcohol used to make the mixture = x L

For 25% alcohol:

C₁ = 25% , V₁ = 180 mL

For 30% alcohol :

C₂ = 30% , V₂ = x L

Using  

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

25×180 = 30×x

So,  

x = 150 mL

Pure water = 180 mL - 150 mL = 30 mL

150 mL of the 30% alcohol mixture and 30 mL of the pure water will we need to obtain the desired solution.

answer; /// i do believe that the correct answer is (a) boiling

answer: the rate of diffusion increases with increase in temperature.

increase in temperature, increases the molecular/particles speed (kinetic energy. diffusion means movement of particles through the material.

generally, the heavier the particle the more it interacts with the environment and more the temperature matters. so higher temperature results in higher diffusion.
