In the Mississippi River Delta, fresh water (0% salinity) mixes with salt water from the Gulf of Mexico (3 1 2% salinity). If 1,000 gallons of river water mixes with 3,000 gallons from the Gulf, how many gallons result, and what is its percent salinity? (Estimate a reasonable percent range for your answer before you solve.)

The total resulting gallons of water is 4,000 gallons

The concentration of the resulting solution is 2.625% salinity

Step-by-step explanation:

The salinity of the fresh water from the Mississippi River Delta = 0%

The salinity  of the water from the Gulf of Mexico = 3 1/2%

Therefore, if 1,000 gallons of river water mixes with 3,000 gallons from the Gulf, we have;

The total resulting gallons of water = 1,000 + 3,000 = 4,000 gallons

The total resulting gallons of water = 4,000 gallons

The concentration of the resulting solution is found as follows;

The concentration of the resulting solution = (3 × 3 1/2)/400 × 100 = 2.625%

The concentration of the resulting solution = 2.625% salinity.

725 parts per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

hi there, this answer is actually really simple.

you can set it up as 1450/2 or 3625/5 to find the answer.

they want to know how much per hour is being made, so you just divide.

1450/2=725.

and that's how many are produced per hour.

hope this . : )
