You have 20% NaCl stock solution. You need to prepare 500 ml of a 0.5% NaCl solution? How many ml stock solution do you need to make this preparation? How much water will you add to the final product?
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "N = amount of 20%
\n" ); document.write( "W = amount of water
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "N + W = 500 (total solution)
\n" ); document.write( "20*N + 0*W= 500*0.5 (total salt)
\n" ); document.write( "20N = 250
\n" ); document.write( "N = 12.5 ml of 20%
\n" ); document.write( "487.5 ml of Water
\n" ); document.write( "
