Question 1030639: Hi,
I'm trying to work on mixture problems but I don't understand how you tell which % is the solute and which is the solvent?
For example, A physician asks that 250ml of a 15% solution to be prepared from a stock supply of 80% solution.
How many milliliters of the solute are needed?
How many milliliters of the solvent are needed?
I believe I could work the problem out if I understood how to tell which is which.
Thanks!
