Pure acid is to be added to a 5% acid solution to obtain 95L of 98% solution. What amounts of each should be used?
How many liters of 100% pure acid should be used to make the solution?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation:

acid + acid = acid

0.05x + 1.0(95-x) = 0.30*95

----

Multiply thr by 100 to get:

5x + 100*95 - 100x = 30*95

---

-95x = -70*95

---

x = 70L (amt of 5% solution needed)

---

95-x = 25L (amt of 100% solution needed)
