Question 373733: A Chemist mixes distilled water with 70% solution of sulfuric acid to produce a 30% solution. If 12 liters of distilled water is used, how much 30% solution is produced? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let = liters of 70% solution used
In words:
(final liters of acid)/(final liters of solution) = 30%
---------
given: = liters of acid in 70% solution
----------
In the 30% solution, there are 9 liters of 70% solution
and 12 liters of distilled water liters of 30% solution produced
