A box contains 36 tins of cleaning powder. Each tin contains 225 g of the powder, and the tin itself has a mass of 15 g. If the full box has a mass of 10 kg, what is the mass of the empty box?

$"Mass of each tin" = "mass of powder + mass of tin" = "225 g + 15 g" = "240 g"$

$"Mass of 36 tins" = 36 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("tins"))) × "240 g"/(1 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("tin")))) = "8640 g"$

$8640 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g"))) × "1 kg"/(1000 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g")))) = "8.64 kg"$

$"Mass of full box = mass of box + mass of tins"$

$"10 kg = mass of box + 8.64 kg"$

∴ $"Mass of box" = "10 kg - 8.64 kg" = "1.36 kg" = "1 kg"$

Note: According to the rules for , we are not allowed to carry any digits past the decimal point.

An alloy of tin is 15% tin and weighs 20 pounds. A second alloy is 10% tin. How many pounds of the second alloy must be added to the first to get a 12% mixture?

Let the mass of the 10 % alloy be $xcolor(white)(l)"lb"$. Then $20 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("lb"))) × 15 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("% Sn"))) + x color(red)(cancel(color(black)("lb"))) × 10 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("% Sn"))) = (20 + x) color(red)(cancel(color(black)("lb"))) ×...

How many moles of tin metal will be produced when 0.74 moles of tin IV oxide is heated in the reaction $SnO_2 + 2H_2 -> Sn + 2H_2O$?

So, why clearly? Well, to begin, you already have the stoichiometric equation: $SnO_2(s) +2H_2(g) rarr Sn(s) + 2H_2O(l)$ This is a so-called $"redox reaction"$: stannic oxide is reduced to tin...
