A chemist changed m% salty water to 2m% salty water


A Chemist has m gm of salt water that is m% salty.How many grams of salt must be add to make a solution that is 2m % salty?
Answer:
At m% saltiness
 M gram salt water contain =m2/100 gm salt

Suppose the chemist added x gram of salt to his m gram salt water to make it 2m% salty
 
then he added x gram of salt to already existing m2/100 gm salt ,same x gram of salt also increased the weight of salt water to x+m gram salt water  to get 2m% salty water

Now at
  2m% salty water to get

2m/100=m2/100+x/m+x

then solve this and get x=m2/100-2m.

Note:salt/salt water is wt/wt.

A piece of ice with a stone frozen into it, is floating in a glass vessel filled with water. If the ice melts completely, then level of water in the vessel will

Solution : Volume of melted ice=water  is less than ice ,then stone volume would remain unchanged ,therefore ,the level of water would fal...
