I know its the P1V1+ P2V2= P3V3 i guess i am just having trouble setting up the specific problem. If you could help me with that I would greatly appreciate it.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Dr. Jones needs to mix a 25% glucose solution with a 5% glucose solution to make one liter of a 10% glucose solution.
How many liters of 25% and 5% glucose solutions must be mixed?
:
Let x = amt of 25% solution required
then since the total is to 1 liter
(1-x) = amt of 5% solution
:
.25x + .05(1-x) = .10(1)
