How much pure hydrocloric acid must be added to 40 milliliters of a 50% solution to obtain a 75% acid solution?
***
let x= milliliters of pure hydrocloric acid to be added
100%(x)+50%(40)=75%(x+40)
x+20=.75x+30
.25x=10
x=10/.25=40
ans:
40 milliliters of pure hydrocloric acid must be added to 40 milliliters of a 50% solution to obtain a 75% acid solution?
