Hi, Re TY, note: ALL info was put in terms of & each side of EQ has a total of 1 Liter of solution
how much (0% acid) and how much stock solution (99%) of HCL
must he mix to get 1 liter 5% HCL solution
Water = water

.99x = .94L
x = .94L/.99 =.95L of water needs to be added
CHECKING our Answer***
.95L + .01*.05 = .95L

from view of water
x+y=1
.01x+1.0y=.95(x+y)
x=0.0505051, y=0.949495
from view of acid
x+y=1
.99x=.05(x+y)
x=0.0505051, y=0.949495
