document.write( "Question 1125628: A scientist is working with two different concentrations of HCI. One bottle is 80% HCI and the other is 50% HCI. For their experiment they need 1 liter of 70% HCI. how many liters of the 80% solution do they need? How many liters of the 50% solution? \n" ); document.write( "

Not the best example. Concentrations of HCl above 40% not so practical; they don't keep well and will have some of the concentration lost quickly.\r
