A chemist has a 100 mL beaker of a 30% solution.
\n" ); document.write( "a. Write an equation for the concentration of the solution after adding x mL of pure water.
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "active + active = active
\n" ); document.write( "0.30*100 + 0*x = c(100+x)
\n" ); document.write( "============================
\n" ); document.write( "b. Use that equation to determine how many mL of water should be added to obtain a 7% solution. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "30*100 + 0*x = 0.07(100 + x)
\n" ); document.write( "30*100 + 0 = 7*100 + 7x
\n" ); document.write( "7x = 21*100
\n" ); document.write( "x = 300 mL (amt of water to add)
\n" ); document.write( "=============
\n" ); document.write( "Cheers,
