How do I reduce a 60% solution to a 10% solution? Thanks
------------------
You add solvent.
How much solvent depends on how much 60% solution you start with.
-----------
If you have A of 60%, and S is the amount of solvent:
A*60 + S*0 = 10*(A + S)
60A = 10A + 10S
5A = S
Add 5 times the amount of 60%
