If the percents are as volume per volume, then your solution(solving) is uncomplicated. If the percents are as weight per volume, then you must use, be given MORE information.
In case the concentrations given are percent weight per volume, you need to know the density of the 30% acid, call it ; and the density of the pure 100% acid, call it .
-
Let u = the volume, mililiters, of 30% acid.
Let v = the volume of the pure acid.
The system of equations to arrange are these:
