∙ 13y agoIf the percentages specified are by mass and the 900 ml of water are assumed to be at standard temperature and pressure, this problem can be solved as follows: The 900 ml of water will have a mass of 900 grams. Call the unknown mass of the 37 percent solution to be added m. this will contain 0.37m grams of formaldehyde and 0.63m grams of water, and 0.37m/(900 + m) = 0.10. Then, multiplying both sides by (m + 900), 0.37m = 0.10m + 90, or 0.27m = 90, or m = 3.3 X 102 grams of the 37 % solution to be added, to the justified number of significant digits.

∙ 13y agoTo make a 10% formaldehyde solution, we first need to find out how much pure formaldehyde is in the 37% solution. Then, we can set up a proportion to determine how much of the 37% solution must be used. First, calculate the amount of pure formaldehyde in the 37% solution (37% of x = amount of pure formaldehyde). Then, set up the proportion: (amount of pure formaldehyde in 37% solution) / (total volume of 10% solution) = 10%. Solve for the amount of 37% solution needed.
Formaldehyde can harm the environment by contributing to air pollution when released from industrial sources. It can also contaminate water sources when it is discharged into water bodies, affecting aquatic life. Additionally, formaldehyde can react with other pollutants in the atmosphere to form harmful secondary pollutants like ozone.
To obtain a solution that is twenty percent antifreeze, you would add 4 parts water to 1 part antifreeze. This means that for every 1 part of antifreeze, you would add 4 parts of water. This would result in a total of 5 parts of solution, with 1 part being antifreeze and 4 parts being water, achieving a solution that is twenty percent antifreeze.
Let x be the amount of the 20% solution and y be the amount of the 65% solution. The total volume equation is: x + y = 500. The total amount of the solute equation is: 0.20x + 0.65y = 0.45(500). Solve these two equations to find the amounts of each solution needed.
Let x be the liters of the 30% acid solution and y be the liters of the 60% acid solution. We can set up a system of equations: x + y = 50 (total liters) and 0.3x + 0.6y = 0.57*50 (acid content). Solving this system of equations, we find that x = 20 liters of the 30% acid solution and y = 30 liters of the 60% acid solution.
To get a 2% acid solution, you need to dilute the 50% acid solution with water. Since the final volume is 2 gallons, you will need to mix 2 gallons of water with the 2 gallons of 50% acid solution to get a 2% acid solution.
Leave the toad in a jar of 5% formaldehyde forever. Be sure to label the jar as containing 5% formaldehyde, because it is toxic.
How much 50 percent antifreeze solution and 40 percent antifreeze solution should be combined to give 50 gallons of 46 percent antifreeze solution?
2%
10 liters.
No. Formaldehyde is commonly used as an embalming agent. You should NEVER use formaldehyde as a sterilizer, as the chemicals are toxic to humans and animals.
Not at all! Formaldehyde is toxic and foods exposed to it should not be eaten.
98 mL
The final concentration of the hydrochloric acid solution would be 5% after dilution. Therefore, the label should indicate that the solution is a 5% hydrochloric acid solution.
add 25ml more of solution x * 20 = 100 * 25 x = 25
x=45
6 litres of 50% + 4 litres of 25%
