Question 33186: A chemist has 344 liters of 12 percent sulfuric acid solution. How much pure sulfuric acid (in liters) must be added to have 14 percent solution? Put the unit L for liter after your answer. Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 344*.12+x=.14*(344+x)
41.28+x=48.16+.14x
.86x=6.88
x=6.88/.86
x=8
proof (344*.12)+8=.14(344+8) or 41.28+8=48.16+1.12 or 49.28=49.28
