Question

What quantity of 72% acetic acid solution must be mixed with a 16% acetic acid solution to produce 141.78 mL of 63% solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

The quantity of 72% of acetic acid is 123.83 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The produce quantity after mixing = 141.78 ml of 63%

Let The quantity of 72% of acetic acid = x ml

72% of acetic acid mix with 16% acetic acid

Now, According to question

72% of acetic acid × quantity of 72% of acetic acid + 16% acetic acid = The produce quantity after mixing

Or, $\frac{72}{100}$ × x ml + $\frac{16}{100}$ = 141.78 ml × $\frac{63}{100}$

Or, 72 x + 16 = 8932.14

Or, 72 x = 8932.14 - 16

Or, 72 x = 8916.14

∴  x = $\frac{8916.14}{72}$

i.e x = 123.83 ml

So, The quantity of 72% of acetic acid = x = 123.83 ml

Hence, The quantity of 72% of acetic acid is 123.83 ml  Answer
