Amechanic needs a radiator to have 50% antifreeze solution. the radiator currently is filled with 4 gallons of 15% antifreeze solution. how much antifreeze mixture should be drained from the car if the mechanic replaces it with pure antifreeze.

let x=gallons of current mixture to be drained and replaced with pure antifreeze.
4-x=gallons of current mixture remaining in the car.

0.15(4-x)+1.00x=0.50 x 4
0.6-.15x+x=2
0.85x=1.4
x=1.4/0.85 =1.65 gal

Thus, 1.65 gallons of current mixture to be drained and replaced with pure antifreeze.

1.consider the following balanced equation and answer parts a through. show calculations for each part.  

3 ag(s) + 4 hno3(aq) → 3 agno3(aq) + no(g) + 2 h2o(l)  

a. calculate the number of moles of agno3 produced by the reaction of 3 moles of ag with excess hno3. if the number to the left of the compound represents the number of moles of the compound which are present, then 3 moles of ag react with 4 moles hno3 to produce 3 moles agno3 (aq).

so the answer to a would be 3 moles.

b. calculate the number of moles of agno3 produced by the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3.  

i'm not sure how to plug in the grams of silver into an equation using moles to find how many moles are produced.

c. calculate the number of grams of agno3 produced by the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3  

d. calculate the number of moles of no produced as a byproduct of the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3.  

e. calculate the number of grams of no produced as a byproduct starting with 108 grams of ag and excess hno3.
