The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the percentage of cocoa in two different mixtures: Quantity A and Quantity B. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Calculate Quantity A** - Quantity A consists of 3 parts Silky Dark Chocolate and 1 part Smooth White Chocolate. - The total parts in Quantity A = 3 + 1 = 4 parts. - Since we need to find the percentage of cocoa, we will assume a total mixture of 12 units. Therefore, each part = 12 / 4 = 3 units. **Step 2: Determine the cocoa content in Quantity A** - Silky Dark Chocolate contains 80% cocoa. Thus, the cocoa from 3 parts of Silky Dark Chocolate: \[ \text{Cocoa from Silky Dark Chocolate} = 3 \text{ parts} \times 3 \text{ units/part} \times 0.80 = 7.2 \text{ units of cocoa} \] - Smooth White Chocolate contains 0% cocoa, so: \[ \text{Cocoa from Smooth White Chocolate} = 1 \text{ part} \times 3 \text{ units/part} \times 0 = 0 \text{ units of cocoa} \] - Therefore, the total cocoa in Quantity A: \[ \text{Total cocoa in Quantity A} = 7.2 + 0 = 7.2 \text{ units of cocoa} \] **Step 3: Calculate Quantity B** - Quantity B consists of 2 parts Rich Milk Chocolate and 1 part Silky Dark Chocolate. - The total parts in Quantity B = 2 + 1 = 3 parts. - Again, we assume a total mixture of 12 units. Therefore, each part = 12 / 3 = 4 units. **Step 4: Determine the cocoa content in Quantity B** - Rich Milk Chocolate contains 50% cocoa. Thus, the cocoa from 2 parts of Rich Milk Chocolate: \[ \text{Cocoa from Rich Milk Chocolate} = 2 \text{ parts} \times 4 \text{ units/part} \times 0.50 = 4 \text{ units of cocoa} \] - Silky Dark Chocolate contains 80% cocoa, so: \[ \text{Cocoa from Silky Dark Chocolate} = 1 \text{ part} \times 4 \text{ units/part} \times 0.80 = 3.2 \text{ units of cocoa} \] - Therefore, the total cocoa in Quantity B: \[ \text{Total cocoa in Quantity B} = 4 + 3.2 = 7.2 \text{ units of cocoa} \] **Step 5: Compare Quantity A and Quantity B** - Quantity A has 7.2 units of cocoa and Quantity B also has 7.2 units of cocoa. - Therefore, both quantities are equal. ### Conclusion: - Quantity A = Quantity B = 7.2 units of cocoa. - The answer is that both quantities are equal. ---

Estimation of nitrogen: There are two methods for the estimation of nitrogen (i) Dumas method and (ii) Kjedahl's method. i. Dumas method: A known mass of compound is heated with copper oxide (CuO) in an atomsphere of CO_(2) , which gives free nitrogen along with CO_(2) and H_(2)O C_(x)H_(y)N_(z) + (2x + y//2) CuO rarr xCO_(2) + y//2 (H_(2)O) + z//2 (N_(2)) + (2x + y//2) CU The gaseous mixture is passed over a heated copper gauze which converts traces of nitrogen oxides formed to N_(2) .
