Katie has a 64 ounce bottle of 91% alcohol. She needs to add some purified water and dilute the solution to 71% alcohol. How much water should she add?

18.02

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following formula of dilutions in chemistry.

C1 * M1 = C2 * M2

We have a 64 ounce bottle of 91% alcohol. Therefore C1 91% and M1 64, and to decrease to 71% that is C2.

solving for M2

M2 = C1 * M1 / C2

Replacing

M2 = 91% * 64/71%

M2 = 82.02

M2 is the total, so you must add

82.02 - 64 = 18.02

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

the domain is the set { -2, 0, 2, 3}

discussion:

the domain is the set of x values in the ordered pairs (x,y). taking the x, or first component, of each ordered pair gives   -2, 0, 2, 3.
