Thank you so much for the help! Found 2 solutions by Boreal, ikleyn:Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This needs to be rewritten: If you start with a 50% acid solution, adding pure water to it will make it less than 50%. You are concentrating it by adding pure acid OR you are starting with 55% and diluting it.
