a solution mixed at a concentration of \"5+%28g%2Fml%29\" and need \"100+\"gal mixed at \"4%28+g%2Fml%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"C%5B1%5D%2AV%5B1%5D=C%5B2%5D%2AV%5B2%5D\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2AV%5B1%5D=4%2A100\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"V%5B1%5D=400%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"V%5B1%5D=80\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "notice the product on both sides have same amount of substance (\"g\")\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, \"80+\"gal of the \"5%28+g%2Fml%29\" solution has same amount of substance as \"100\" gal of \"4+%28g%2Fml%29\" solution\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now take \"80\" gal of the \"5%28+g%2Fml%29\" and \"20\" gal of water to make \"100\" gal of \"4%28+g%2Fml+%29\"solution\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "adding water does not change the amount of grams of substance, it just dilutes the concentration
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
