If you have 1000 ml of a solution that's 16% alcohol and another that's 96% alcohol how much of the 96% alcohol do you have to add to the 16% to make the 16% raise to 18% alcohol? \n" ); document.write( "------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "alch + alch = alch \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "0.16*1000 +0.96*x = 0.18(1000+x) \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "16*1000 + 96x = 18*1000 + 18x \n" ); document.write( "78x = 2*1000 \n" ); document.write( "x = 25.64ml (amt. of 96% solution needed) \n" ); document.write( "==================================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
