How many gallons of water must be added to 5 gallons of 99% Acedic Acid to dilute to 8%.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let w = amt of water required to do this
\n" ); document.write( ".99(5) = .08(w+5)
\n" ); document.write( "4.95 = .08w + .40
\n" ); document.write( "4.95 - .40 = .08w
\n" ); document.write( "4.55 = .08w
\n" ); document.write( "w = 4.55/.08
\n" ); document.write( "w = 56.875 gal of water
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Confirm this be finding the amt of acid in each, should remain the same
\n" ); document.write( ".99(5) = .08(56.875 + 5)
\n" ); document.write( "4.95 = .08(61.875)
\n" ); document.write( "4.95 = 4.95
\n" ); document.write( "
