Question 817135: [ A 3000 gallon vat contains 1400 gallons of an 8% [acid solution]. Bob is going to add x gallons of an 80% acid solution to vat. Write the concentration of the mixture as a function of x. Help??? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! volume of acid in the final mixture (gallons):
a = 0.08(1400) + 0.80x
a = 112 + 0.80x
---
concentration of acid in the final mixture (%):
c = ( a / (1400 + x) ) * 100
---
Answer:
concentration of acid in the final mixture (%):
c = ( (112 + 0.80x) / (1400 + x) ) * 100
