how many ounces of pure water should be added to 30ounces of a 50% solution of muratic acid to obtain a 25% solution of muratic acid?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt of pure water required
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "write an amt of acid equation
\n" ); document.write( ".50(30) = .25(x+30)
\n" ); document.write( "15 = .25x + 7.5
\n" ); document.write( "15 - 7.5 = .25x
\n" ); document.write( "x = $\"7.5%2F.25\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x = 30 oz of water required, which is what you would expect, right? \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
