    Okay, So This is probably easy compared to most of the problems presented on this website, but it would help immensely if I could recieve some help with it. -The problem is as follows: When mixing a quantity of paints, dyes of four different colours are used in the ratio of 7:3:19:5. If the mass of the first dye used is 3.5g, determine the total mass of the dyes used. -I have Tried to construct an equation for this, but to no avail. This problem I believe is in relation to an earlier, simpler problem: Problem 15. An alloy is made up of metalsA and B in the ratio 2.5:1 by mass. How much ofA has to be added to 6 kg of B to make the alloy? Ratio A:B:…

    Hi all so i did an experiment on beetroot where i had to soak the beetroot peices in the organic solution 'methanol'. I know that the lipid bilayer of the beetroot will get denatured and the pigment betacyanin will leak out but why/how would organic solvent allow the dye to leak from the vacuoles? I am having trouble thinking about this.. Can someone give me some information on this if they have done the same thing or similar ? thanks

Thank you very much (:<br><br>Edit:<br>There is two type of circuits- parallel and series. Parallel is used in households instead of series. If you install a new appliance in a series circuit and some how it breaks, the whole circuit goes off. Using a parallel circuit, the total current is equal to the combined current of each branch. <br>Advantages: In a parallel circuit, if one of the component goes off, the rest of circuit still works.

    Don't really get what to do... A hunter shoots a 500g arrow at a 2kg bird perched on a tall tree growing on a flat ground. The arrow is launched from ground level with a speed of 40m/s at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizon. It is traveling horizontally when it strikes and embeds into the bird. How far from the base of the tree do the bird and arrow land? So I found that (using the law of conservation of momentum) the momentum of the bird + arrow is 20kgm/s, and the velocity of the arrow + bird is 20m/s. And I know we can form a triangle thing out of the velocities or momentums but...I can't seems to find distance! Which is the thing we're looking for! Help?

    Hi guys. I need some help with my homework. Here is the question and then I will tell you where I got stuck What volume of a 3.75 M MgSO4 solution can be prepared with 271g of MgSO4? Ok so I first calculated the molar mass of MgSO4 with the periodic table. Mg= 24.3. S= 32 and O4 = 16x4=65 TOTAL mass of MgSO4 is 120.3g and 271g of it is being used (so about 2.252x more than the initial mass. 2.252 x 120.3 = 271) Sadly I am now stuck. Can someone give me a hint? I will then try to finish figuring it out and post my final answer. Thank you Ok so I just looked at it and did 3.75 x 120.3 = 451.125. I then divided that by 271g to get 1.16646 etc which I …

    This is not a homework question, that I work on integration of normal distribution and found some difficulties. The difficulty could be summarised in integrating this: f(x) = e^(x^2), I am not familiar to integrating exponential function to power x. Hope could get some help, thanks.

    A sign for a restaurant has a mass of 82 kg. It is held out from the wall by a light horizontal steel rid which supports no weight and a wire at 40 degrees to the horizontal. (This will form a right triangle). Find the tension in the wire and the compressions in the steel wall. For the tension in the string, I know that once we find the vertical force of the sign (803.6 N [down]), then we can use 82sin40 to find the tension in the string. But what about the wire? Is the force just the force of the object itself (so 803.6N [down])? Also, in a question where an object is hanging from the center of a rod or string or something, will the tension in either side of th…

    We're supposed to calculate average acceleration: So we're given a situation of a plane traveling some distance with four different velocities. We were taught that, to draw a velocity vector diagram for it (NOT a displacement one), we're supposed to use draw it using the first and last given velocities. Then, say we know an angle for the triangle formed, we can use cosine law to find the resultant displacement. My question is, since acceleration is a = Δv/Δt, then why do we need to find the resultant displacement, why not just subtract v2 from v1 to find the change in velocity? Why use the displacement?

    Just a (simple) problem that I couln't solve. A motorcycle starts from rest and, moving with uniform accelerations, moves 66m in the sixth second (from time equals 5.0s to time equals 6.0s). What is its acceleration, and what distance does it travel in the 7th second? I'm not really sure how to do this. Why can't we do the following? So to find acceleration, the equation is a = Δv/ t, or (v2 - v1) / t. And v2 = d/t. So v2 = 66 /1 = 66 So, to find acceleration: a = (v2 - v1)/t = (66 - 0) / 6 = 11 But that's not right! And a friend told me it was supposed to be 66 / 5.5, but he doesn't explain why either! So I don't get it. Help?

    Can someone please take a look at this and tell me where I am going wrong? It’s part of a calculation for an Enzyme Activity Assay. My enzyme solution prep is as follow: 0.02g to 50mL with deionised water (stock), 1 mL of stock to 200 mL with deionised water. 0.5mL of this is added to the reaction mixture (RM) – total volume of reaction mixture is 10.0mL. One of the parameters in the activity calculation is - (mg of enzyme / RM) so is it just a case of (20*1*0.5)/(50*200*10) = 1 x 10-4 – 0.0001 mg/mL of reaction mixture Any help appreciated.

    Alright, hello all, like the title suggests I need some help with a chemical reaction involving Iron nails, hydrogen peroxide (30% solution) and sodium chloride. I'm fairly certain the iron will form oxides and that there will be water present as a product, but I don't really know what else happens. To recap: Iron nails, hydrogen peroxide and sodium chloride mixed together will form what?

    Quick question, how do I integrate this? ~sin(2x)cos(3x)sin(4x)dx I can't figure out how to do it. I've managed to get an answer using cos(nx)=(z^n+z^-n)/2 and sin(nx)=(z^n-z^-n)/2i, but somehow I get the feeling that isn't how I'm supposed to do it... I am familiar with inegration by parts, ~F(x)=~G(u)u' [and another one like the previous that I can't remember how to write], double angle rules, and naturally 1=sin(x)^2+cos(x)^2 I still can't figure out how to do it though, given that we're supposed to be able to do it using only those. I think I remember reading somewhere a rule that I think was sin(a+b)=sin(a)-sin(b), but I don't think it will really hel…
