Answer 1

Answer:

26.68%

Explanation:

100 mL vial of 25% solution :

In gram:

(100 *100) / 100 = 100g

25% * 100 = 0.25 * 100 = 25g

(25 * 250)g / 100

6250g / 100

= 62.50g

Total :

62.50g + 6g added

= 68.50g

Adding 6g to 5the 250mL solution

To gram:

(250 * 100) / 100 = 250g

[68.50 / (250+6)] * 100%

(68.50 / 256) * 100%

0.267578125 * 100%

26.675%

= 26.68%
