have 5 gallons of glacial acetic acid . need to make a total of 3 gallons of a 30% solution.
how many milliliters of distilled water and how many milliliters of glacial acetic acid are needed to make 3 gallons of 30% solution?
:
let x = amt of acid required (in gal)
the resulting amt is to be 3 gal, therefore
(3-x) = amt of water required
:
x = .3(3)
x = .9 gal of acid required
then
3 -.9 = 2.1 gal of water
:
But for some obscure reason, they want the amts to be in milliliters
:
1 gal = 3.785 liters which is 3785 milliliter
:
Acid: .9(3785) = 3406.5 milliliters
water: 2.1(3785) = 7948.5 milliliters
