\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the answer that i found was 1.5g but in my textbook it says \"2g\"
\n" ); document.write( "i thought 1 part to 3 parts means 1 part of the active ingredient and 2 parts of the diluent/water am i wrong ?
\n" ); document.write( "another question the ratio 1:10 does it mean 1 part of the active ingredient and 9 parts of the diluent/water or 10 parts of the diluent/water

p grams of the compound in 100 ml of solution is \"p%2F100\", concentration as a fraction.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1 part by volume of the concentrated solution will be added to 3 parts of water, being total of 4 parts. Consider using all 100 ml of the concentrated solution.\r
