Achemical company makes two brands of antifreeze. the first brand is 65% pure antifreeze, and the second brand is 90% pure antifreeze. in order to obtain 160 gallons of a mixture that contains 70% pure antifreeze, how many gallons of each brand of antifreeze must be used?

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.

An alkaline battery produces electrical energy according to the following equation. zn(s) + 2 mno2(s) + h2o(l) zn(oh)2(s) + mn2o3(s) (a) determine the limiting reactant if 17.5 g zn and 31.0 g mno2 are used. (type your answer using the format ch4 for ch4.) (b) determine the mass of zn(oh)2 produced. _ g
