137.6 milliliters of pure acid is in 860 milliliters of a 16% solution. This can be obtained by multiplying the percentage of the acid in the solution with the total amount of solution.
Percentage can be obtained using the formula given below,
If P% of X is Y then it can be expressed using the formula,
⇒ Y = P% of X
⇒ Y = P% × X
⇒ Y = P/100 × X
Here in the question it is given that,
We have to find the amount of pure acid in 860 milliliters of a 16% solution.
By using the formula of the percentage we get,
amount of pure acid in the solution,
⇒ A = P% × X
⇒ A = 16% × 860
⇒ A = 16/100 × 860
⇒ A = 13760/100
⇒ A = 137.6 milliliters
Hence 137.6 milliliters of pure acid is in 860 milliliters of a 16% solution.
