How much water must be evaporated from 180 L of 72% brine solution in order to increase the solution’s concentration by 8%?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "180 L of 72% brine solution --> 180*0.72 = 129.6 L of salt and 50.4 L of water.
\n" ); document.write( "For 129.6 L to be 80%, the water is 20% = 32.4 L
\n" ); document.write( "50.4 - 32.4 = 18 L of water to evaporate.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "PS Most, maybe all, salts can't have a concentration that high.
\n" ); document.write( "
