Answer by josgarithmetic(39616) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
{amount of pure acid}/{amount of solution}={concentration of adjusted solution}

L = 25%, concentration of available acid solution
T = 40% acid
R = 600, the volume ml. of available solution
v = ml. volume of 100% acid to add to get T as result. UNKNOWN.

Solve for v.
