Question 762411: in a chemistry class, 9 liters of a 40% silver iodide solution must be mixed with a 10% solution to get a 6% solution. how many liters of the 10% solution are needed? Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source):
How much water do you want the class to use? You cannot get less than 10% silver iodide using just solutions of 40% and 10%. The description needs more information. How much solution does the class need? Why does the question need the 10% solution for preparing this needed 6% solution?
