Question 712775: A procedure calls for 200mL of a 2% glucose solution. A 50% solution is available. How much of the 50% solution is needed to make 200mL of the 2% solution.
I've figured that I would need 4mL of gulcose solution for the total 200mL. I set my problem up like this: .50x + 1(200-x)= 200 (.98). By setting it up like that, I got 8mL of 50% solution, but wouldn't I need much less 50% than I would 2%?

There is no way to get a 2% solution from a 50% solution
unless you add solvent, which would probably be water.
As stated, it's impossible to do.
