HELP PLEASE! Its due by monday and I can only do the first two problems! (Barley!) Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi, I can solve it in a straight forward algebra way. You can do all
the fancy stuff they want.
In words:
(total liters of acid you end up with)/(total liters of solution you end up with) = 8%
Let = liters of 24% solution needed
given:
acid in 4% solution = liters
acid in 24% solution = liters
----------------------------------- liters
2 liters of the 24% acid solution are needed
check answer:
OK
