In your chemistry lab, you have a bottle of 2% hydrochloric acid solution and a bottle of 6% hydrochloric solution. You need 100 millimeters of 3% hydrochloric acid solution for an experiment. How many millimeters of each solution do you need to mix together?
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "acid + acid = acid
\n" ); document.write( "0.02x + 0.06(100-x) = 0.03*100
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 6*100 - 6x = 3*100
\n" ); document.write( "-4x = -3*100
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "x = (3/4)100
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "x = 75 ml (amt. of 2% solution needed)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "100-x = 25 ml (amt. of 6% solution needed)
\n" ); document.write( "=============================================
