A chemist has two solutions of H2SO4. One has a 40% concentration and the other has a 25% concentration. How many liters of each solution must be mixed to obtain 78 liters of a 28% solution?

liters of the 40% solution and

liters of the 25% solution must be mixed to obtain a 28% solution of H2SO4.

(Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.)

16 liters of the solution with 40% concentration must be mixed with 62 liters of the solution with 25% concentration in order to obtain 78 liters, 25% concentration solution.

Explanation:

Let the required volume of solution 1 be represented by x.

The required volume of solution 2 would then be 78-x.

The number of moles of solution 1 that would be required = 0.4x

The number of moles of solution 2 that would be required = 0.25(78-x)

The number of moles of the final mixture = 78 x 0.28 = 21.84

moles of solution 1 + moles of solution 2 = moles of final mixture

0.4x + 0.25(78 - x) = 21.84

  0.4x + 19.5 - 0.25x = 21.84

     0.4x - 0.25x = 21.84 - 19.5

          0.15x = 2.34

            x = 15.6 liters

To the nearest tenth = 16 liters

Liters of 40% solution needed = 16 liters

Liters of 25% solution needed = 78 - 16 = 62 liters.

Hence, 16 liters of the solution with 40% concentration must be mixed with 62 liters of the solution with 25% concentration in order to obtain 78 liters, 25% concentration solution.

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
