Algebra.Com's Answer #580504 by josgarithmetic(39617)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The density or at least specific gravity is needed. The concentration 85% should mean \"weight per weight\". \"ltr\" appears to mean \"liters\", and this is volume. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Continuing staying all with mass (\"weight\"),\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "10*liters of water,\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "An old handbook shows listed, 1.689 for specific gravity of 85% phosphoric acid; and temperature may be ignored just for convenience.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let p be mass in kilograms of the 85% acid to add.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve for p. \n" ); document.write( " |
