In a chemistry class, 4 liters of a 4% silver iodine solution must be mixed with a 10% solution to get a 6% solution. How many liters of the 10% solution are needed? \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "active + active = active \n" ); document.write( "0.04*4 + 0.10x = 0.06(4+x) \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get: \n" ); document.write( "4*4 + 10x = 6*4 + 6x \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "4x = 2*4 \n" ); document.write( "x = 2 liters (amt. of 10% solution needed) \n" ); document.write( "=============== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
