Question

You are working in a lab and you need a solution of 22% acid. In the cupboard, you find a 10% and a 30% solution, but not a 22% solution. You will have to make your own 22% solution. You will need liters of the 10% and liters of the 30% to make 15 liters of a 22% solution?

Answer 1

The volume of 10% solution will be 6 l and 9 litre of the 30 % solution will be taken.

What is Volume ?

Volume is the space occupied by a three dimensional object .

The concentration of solution required is 22% acid

The concentration of solution available is 10% and 30%

The total volume required is 15 liters

The formula for making a mixture is

Concentration = ( m₁x₁ +m₂x₂) / (x₁+x₂)

22 = (10 * x + 30 *(15 -x))/( 15)

10 x + 450 - 30x =330

-20x = -120

x = 6

The volume of 10% solution will be 6 l

and 9 litre of the 30 % solution will be taken.
