Acid solution A is composed of 12.5% hydrochloric acid and acid solution B is composed of 34% hydrochloric acid. How much of each solution is needed to obtain 86 ounces of a solution that contains 25% of hydrochloric acid?
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "acid + acid = acid
\n" ); document.write( "0.125x + 0.34(86-x) = 0.25*86
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 1000 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "125x + 340*86 - 340x = 250*86
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "-115x = -90*86
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "x = 67.3 ounces (amt of 12.5% solution needed)
\n" ); document.write( "86-x = 18.7 ounces (amt of 34% solution needed)
