Question 530254: A chemist wants to make a 45% solution of Sulfuric Acid more concentrated by addingpure sulfuric acid. How much pure sulfuric acid must be added to get an 80% solution of sulfuric acid? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let = unit of sulfuric acid solution originally
Let units of pure sulfuric acid to be added
given: = units of sulfuric acid originally
---------
The ratio of pure acid to be added to solution already present
must be 1.75/1 or 7/4
