Bottle 1 has 14 liters of 10% acid and we need to add some of bottle 2 which is
60% acid to form a new bottle which is 25% ALCOHOL.
PART 1- WHAT IS THE VOLUME THAT WE NEED FROM BOTTLE 2?
:
Let x = vol from bottle 2 required
Write the decimal equiv mixture equation:
.10(14) + .60x = .25(x+14)
1.4 + .60x = .25x + 3.5
.60x - .25x = 3.5 - 1.4
.35x = 2.1
x =
x = 6 liters of 60% acid required

:
Part 2- WHAT IS THE VOLUME OF THE NEW BOTTLE??
14 + 6 = 20 liters
