How much water must be added to 6 ounces of a 20% acid solution to obtain a 15% acid solution?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt of water
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an amt of acid equation, (the amt of acid remains the same only the percent changes)
\n" ); document.write( ".20(6) = .15(x+6)
\n" ); document.write( "1.2 = .15x + .9
\n" ); document.write( "1.2 - .9 = .15x
\n" ); document.write( ".3 = .15
\n" ); document.write( "x = \".3%2F.15\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2 oz of pure water required
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Prove this by finding the amt of acid in each mixture
\n" ); document.write( ".2(6) = 1.2
\n" ); document.write( ".15(2+6) = 1.2
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
