Find the final concentration of ethanol as a percent (v/v) when 30 mL of ethanol 50 % (v/v), 60 mL of ethanol 70 % (v/v), and 40 mL of ethanol 95 % (v/v) are mixed together.arrow_forwardPlease try to give type solution fast i will rate for surearrow_forwardThe mixture contains benzoic acid, 2-napthol, and naphthalene. Dissolve the mixture in the polar solvent ether. When you react the mixture with 10% NaHCO3(sodium bicarbonatea weak base in aqueous solution) reacts with benzoic acid and forms sodium benzoate an ionic compound (similar to NaCl) that dissolves in aqueous solution (heavier than ether in density) and goes to the bottom of the centrifuge tube or to the bottom of the separatory funnel forming two layers. Then remove the bottom aqueous layer and collect in a beaker labeled as bicarbonate extract. Acidify the bicarbonate extract in the beaker to give benzoic acid. The top ethereal layer contains in the centrifuge tube or separatory funnel 2-napthol and naphthalene. To this top layer add 10% NaOH (sodium hydroxideis a strong base in aqueous solution reacts with only 2-napthol, a weak acid forming 2-napthoxide an ionic compound soluble in aqueous solution (similar to NaCl) that goes to the bottom of the centrifuge tube or to…arrow_forward
- A pharmacist prepares 215 mL of an isotonic solution of 3.5 %w/v Lidocaine HCI (E- value= 0.2). To prepare the solution, he dissolves Lidocaine HCI in purified water to make an isotonic solution. Then he dilutes the Lidocaine HCI solution with 0.9 %w/v sterile sodium chloride to complete the formulation. How many milliliters of purified water is needed to make the formulation by this method?
