A scientist has a 27% base solution and a 43% base solution. In order to complete an experiment, she needs a mixture of 160 mL. of a 38% base solution. If the mixture contains x mL of the 27% base solution and y mL of the 43% base solution, write an expression in terms of x for the volume of the 43% base solution, y, that is needed to make the mixture. Do not include the concentrations of the solutions in the expression.

Every pure substance has a definite and fixed set of physical and chemical properties. A solution is prepared by dissolving one pure substance in another. Is it reasonable to expect that the solution will also have a definite and fixed set of properties that are different from the properties of either component? Explain your answer.
A patient has a “cholesterol count” of 214. Like manyblood-chemistry measurements,this result is measured inunits of milligrams per deciliter (mgdL1). Determine the molar concentration of cholesterol inthis patient’s blood, taking the molar mass of cholesterolto be 386.64gmol1. Estimate the molality of cholesterol in the patient’sblood. If 214 is a typical cholesterol reading among men inthe United States, determine the volume of such bloodrequired to furnish 8.10 g of cholesterol.
