Question 1137085
.
<pre>
Let x = the volume of the 10% solution.


Then the basic equation is


    0.1*x + 0.25*1 = 0.15(x+1)


saying that total volume of the pure acid in the mixture is the sum of the volumes of the pure acid in ingredients.


From the equation


    x = {{{(0.15- 0.25)/(0.1-0.15)}}} = 2.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  2 liters of the 10% acid solution.


<U>CHECK</U>.   0.1*2 + 0.25*1 = 0.45 = 0.15*(2 + 1) = 0.15*3.   ! Correct !

Solved.
