If the ratio of carbon isn't correctly formed it will either burn too quickly or too slowly and if the correct ratio of sulphur (or sulfur for america) isn't represented it will burn too hot or cold and wont be as effective..

How do you divide quantities in a given ratio?

The first part of this answer is algebraic; see the example below for how it works out in practice. Suppose you have a total quantity N that you want to divide in the ratio a:b:c. Add a, b and c that is, a+b+c = s. Calulate N/s, the value of each unit in the ratio. then a*(N/s), b*(N/s) and c*(N/s) are the required amounts. Example: Divide 60 sweets in the ratio 2:3:5 N = 60 s = 2+3+5 = 10 therefore N/s = 60/10 = 6. [Therefore, each 1 in the ratio is worth 6 sweets]. The required division of the sweets is 2*6, 3*6 and 5*6 = 12, 18 and 30. This process can be extended to dividing quantities into ratios comprising four or more numbers in an analogous fashion.

How many grams of KNO3 will dissolve in 100 g of water at 30 degrees Celsius?

Instead of waiting for the answer, I ended up solving it. lol 300grams of H20 X 110grams of KNO3/100 grams of H20 = 330 grams of KNO3 The grams of H20 both cancel out and leave you with 330 grams of KNO3 Containing the solubility of KNO3. At 60 degrees celsius the KNO3 grams were 110, which is (over) / 100grams of H20. Hope this helps with this workbook problem :)


What is the formula for potassium nitrate dissolved in water?

The chemical formula for potassium nitrate dissolved in water is KNO3(aq), which shows that potassium nitrate has dissociated into its constituent ions (K+ and NO3-) in the water solution.


What if the balanced equations for KCl AgNO3?

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between KCl (potassium chloride) and AgNO3 (silver nitrate) is: 2AgNO3 + KCl -> 2AgCl + KNO3 This equation shows that two moles of silver nitrate react with one mole of potassium chloride to produce two moles of silver chloride and one mole of potassium nitrate.


What is the molecular equation of silver nitrate and potassium iodide?

AgNO3(aq) + KI(aq) = KNO3(aq) + AgI(s) This is a classic test for halogens, and AgI precipitates down as a yellow solid.


What is equation when potassium nitrate dissolves in water?

KNO3 + H2O --> KOH + HNO3 is the full equation. However, potassium nitrate, potassium hydroxide and nitric acid are all water soluble so there is no reaction. You simply get a solution of aqueous potassium nitrate. The net equation is KNO3 ---> K+ (aq) + NO3- (aq).
