How many liters of a 40% sulfuric acid solution should be mixed with a 4 liters of 24% sulfuric acid solution to produce a 30% solution?

Respuesta :

Based on the quantity of the sulfuric acid solution, the number of liters that should be mixed to produce a 30% solution is 2.4 liters.

Why should this quantity be mixed?

Assume the quantity we are looking for is x. The formula to find it would then be:

40% × x + 24 % x the 4 liter solution = 30% of (4 liters + x liters)

0.4x + 0.96 = 0.3x + 1.2

0.4x - 0.3x = 1.2 - 0.96

0.1x = 0.24

x = 0.24 / 0.1

= 2.4 liters
