Textbook Question

Chapter 7.4, Problem 2P

Aqua Regia is an acid that can dissolve gold. It is made by mixing hydrochloric acid and nitric acid in the ratio 3 to 1 (by volume). Let X be an unspecified number of liters of hydrochloric acid, which can vary, let Y be the corresponding number of liters of nitric acid needed to make Aqua Regia.

a. Sketch a graph in a coordinate plane to show the relationship between X and Y.

b. Reason about quantities and use math drawings to find and explain at least two equations that relate X and Y.

c. Discuss how to interpret the values of the ratio 3 1 and 1 3 in terms of your graph in part (a) and your equations in part (b).
