Question 923453: Leon is mixing a 30% acid solution with pure acid in order to produce 15 liters of a 45% acid solution. How much pure acid must be used in order to produce leons desired result? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Acid= Acid
x the amount of pure acid
.30(15L - x) + x = .45(15L)
.70x = .15(15L)
x = .15(15L)/.70
