Question 1086591
Question:
A chemist needs 2 liters of a 26% acid solution. He has an 18​% solution and a 50​% solution available to form the mixture. How much of each should be used to form the 26​% ​solution?
 
Solution:
 
Given solutions at 18% and 50%, need 2L of 26%.
Ratio of 18%:50% = (50-26):(26-18) = 24:8 = 3:1  so 1.5L of 18% + 0.5L of 50%
