Apharmacist has 30% and 60% iodine solutions on hand. how many liters of each iodine solution will be required to produce 6 liters of a 50% iodine.

4 liters of 60% solution; 2 liters of 30% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to use a simple, but effective, tool for most mixture problems. It is a kind of "X" diagram as in the attachment.

The ratios of solution concentrations are 3:6:5, so I've used those numbers in the diagram. The constituent solutions are on the left; the desired mixture is in the middle, and the numbers on the other legs of the X are the differences along the diagonals: 6 - 5 = 1; 5 - 3 = 2. This tells you the ratio of 60% solution to 30% solution is 2 : 1.

These ratio units (2, 1) add to 3. We want 6 liters of mixture, so we need to multiply these ratio units by 2 liters to get the amounts of constituents needed. The result is 4 liters of 60% solution and 2 liters of 30% solution.

If you're writing equations, it often works well to let the variable represent the quantity of the greatest contributor—the 60% solution. Let the volume of that (in liters) be represented by v. Then the total volume of iodine in the mixture is ...

... 0.60·v + 0.30·(6 -v) = 0.50·6

... 0.30v = 0.20·6 . . . . subtract 0.30·6, collect terms

... v = 6·(0.20/0.30) = 4 . . . . divide by the coefficient of v

4 liters of 60% solution are needed. The other 2 liters are 30% solution.

he can buy 4lbs. of live bait and 1lbs of natural bait

step-by-step explanation:

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
