You have 125g of a certain seasoning and are told that it contains 76.0 g of salt what is the percentage of salt by mass in this seasoning

1. suppose a reaction mixture, when diluted with water, afforded 300 ml of an aqueous solution of 30 g of the reaction product malononitrile [ch2(cn)2], which is to be isolated by extraction with ether. the solubility of malononitrile in ether at room temperature is 20.0 g/100 ml, and in water is 13.3 g/100 ml. what weight of malononitrile would be recovered by extraction with (a) three 100-ml portions of ether and (b) one 300-ml portion of ether? suggestion: for each extraction, let x equal the weight extracted into the ether layer. in part (a), the concentration in the ether layer is x/100 and in the water layer is (30 x)/300; the ratio of these quantities is equal to k 20/13.3.

16. in a reaction that has reached equilibrium, a. the forward and reverse reactions are occurring at the same rate. b. the reactants and products are in equal concentrations. c. the forward reaction has gone further than the reverse reaction. d. there are equal numbers of atoms on both sides of the equation. e. a, b, and d are correct.
