Question 630933: You must show two equations you need to write as well as all steps to solve the problem.
a chemist has two acid solutions in stock: one that is 40% solution and the other 60% solution. How much of each solution should be mixed to obtain 100ml of a 45% solution? (show work) Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a chemist has two acid solutions in stock: one that is 40% solution and the other 60% solution. How much of each solution should be mixed to obtain 100ml of a 45% solution?
--------------------
f = amount of 40%
s = amount of 60%
-----------
f + s = 100 (total solution)
40f + 60s = 45*100 (total acid)
