Question 505748: A solution contains 60 oz. of water and 15 oz. of acid. If a 60% acid solution results from water evaporation, then how many ounces of water have evaporated? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In words:
( oz of acid you end up with ) / ( total solution you end up with ) = 60%
You don't lose any acid from evaporation, so you end up with oz
of acid.
Let = oz of water that evaporated
50 oz of water have evaporated
check:
OK
