The granular fertilizer 11-11-11 is composed of 11% nitrogen, 11% phosphate, and 11% potassium. similarly, the fertilizer 19-17-0 is composed of 19% nitrogen, 17% phosphate, and 0% potassium. if a gardener mixes a 5 pound bag of 11-11-11 with a 25 pound bag of 19-17-0, what are the concentrations of nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium in the mixture? express the answers as percents.

The farmer would get 30 lb of 18-16-2 fertilizer.

We can use a variation of the dilution formula to solve this problem.

V₁c₁ + V₂c₂ = V₃c₃

For N

5 lb × 11 + 25 lb × 19 = 30 lb × x

55 + 475 = 30x

x = 530/30 = 18

For PO₄

5 lb × 11 + 25 lb × 17 = 30 lb × y

55 + 425 = 30y

y = 480/30 = 16

For K

5 lb × 11 + 25 lb × 0 = 30 lb × z

55 + 0 = 30z

x = 55/30 = 2

The farmer would get 30 lb of 18-16-2 fertilizer.

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.
