A pharmacist has two vitamin-supplement powders. The first powder is 10% vitamin B1 and 30% vitamin B2. The second is 15% vitamin B1 and 20% vitamin B2. How many milligrams of each powder should the pharmacist use to make a mixture that contains 80 mg of vitamin B1 and 200 mg of vitamin B2?

mg of powder 1 and mg of powder 2

Explanation:

Let "X" denotes weight of powder 1 added to the new mixture and  "Y" denotes weight of powder 2 added to the new mixture

Total weight of vitamin B1 in the mixture is equal to mg

Total weight of vitamin B2 in the mixture is equal to mg

Equation 1

Equation 2

Let us simplify the above two equations, we will get

Substituting value of X in equation 2 we get

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
