A filtration system is used to separate sand from other matter. 18 kg of mixture A and 38 kg of mixture B are placed in a separator system. The system outputs 28 kg of pure sand and an unknown amount of waste containing 3.3% sand (by mass). Determine the mass of sand in mixture A (in kg) if the mass of sand in mixture B is 1.54 times the mass of sand in mixture A. Round your answer to two (2) decimal places for entry into Canvas. Example: 12.34. Do not include units. Do not use scientific notation.

Your 50 mL beaker has a mass of 6.65 g. You add 10.00 mL to the 50 mL beaker and now the total mass is 17.45 g. You originally used 5.14 g of NaCl to make the solution. What is the percent composition of your solution? These calculations are described in the lab procedure in detail.
Read the descriptions below of two substances and an experiment on each. Decide whether the result of the experiment tells you the substance is a pure substance or a mixture, if you can. . Sample A is 100. g of a coarse grey powder with a faint unpleasant smell. 15. g of the powder is put into a funnel lined with a sheet of thick paper. Distilled water is poured slowly over the powder. All of the powder disappears, and the water under the funnel turns a deep purple. . Sample B is 100. mL of a clear liquid. The density of the liquid is measured, and turns out to be 0.77 g/mL. The liquid is then cooled in the refrigerator At 10.0 °C crystals begin to appear. The temperature of the liquid continues to decrease as more crystals form, until at 6.2 °C the liquid is entirely solid. Is sample A made from a pure substance or a mixture? If the description of the substance and the outcome of the experiment isn't enough to decide, choose "can't decide." Is sample B made from a pure substance or a…
