Algebra.Com's Answer #446946 by josgarithmetic(39617)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You remove some volume, q of the 20% antifreeze. The amount of pure antifreeze in the tank is then 40*0.20-q*0.20 mass of pure antifreeze. Next q volume of the 100% antifreeze is added, so the amount of pure antifreeze in the tank becomes 40*0.20-q*0.20+q*1.00 mass of pure antifreeze. \r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "All that was done so that the volume of antifreeze solution in the tank is again 40 liters of volume. NOW, we expect the result to be 0.40 or 40% antifreeze for that 40 liters. \n" ); document.write( " |
