how many liters of water must be evaporated from 10L of 40% salt solution to produce a 50% solution
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt to be evaporated
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "write a salt amt equation
\n" ); document.write( "(the amt of salt remains the same only the amt of water changes, thus changing the percent)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".40(10) = .50(10-x)
\n" ); document.write( "4 = 5 - .5x
\n" ); document.write( "+.5x = 5 - 4
\n" ); document.write( "1x = 2(1); multiply equation by 2 to get rid of the .5x
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2 liters of water has to be evaporated\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check for equality
\n" ); document.write( ".4(10) = .5(10-2)
\n" ); document.write( "4 = .5(8)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
