You would need to add water. The amount required is entirely dependent on how much volume you currently have. If the current volume is x then the question can be rewritten as:

10%x/(x+a) = 1%

where a is the amount of water you need to add.

Multiply both sides by x+a and you get

10%x = 1%x + 1%a

Subtract 1%x from both sides and get

9%x = 1%a

Divide by 1% and you get

9x = a

Thus, to make a 1 percent solution from a 10 percent solution, you need to add 9 times the current volume of the solution in water.

How do you make a 10 percent Clorox solution?

10% = 10 parts in 100 or 1 in 10 parts. So if you make a solution, you need to make sure that whatever the amount of Clorox you use, the total amount of solution is 10 times larger. How to do this accurately depends on the measuring equipment you have available and the amount of solution you need to make.

How do you turn 10 percent into a fraction?

How can prepare 10 percent ammonia solution from 26 percent ammonia solution?

Check what it is dissolved in first and use the same solvent for dilution. If you want to make a litre of 10% for instance, You want to dilute it 10 in 26 parts or 5 in 13. So 1 litre /13*5 is 384.6ml of 26% ammonia, and dilute to 1 litre with solvent


How do you make 10 percent solution from 20 percent solution?

Take 100 grams of 5% solution and do one of the following:Mix 95 g of it with 5 grams of sugar to end up with 100 g of 10% solution, or, when you are short of sugar:Evaporate 50 grams of water from 100 g of the 5% solution to end up with 50 g of 10% solution.


How much of a 50 percent solution should be added to 1 liter to make a 25 percent solution?

Mix this 50% solution in equal quantities with water(?) to halve it's strength. So use 1 litre of the 50% solution and 1 litre of water of that's what you are diluting it with.


What determine the strength of acid?

For normal acids, pH is most accurate. For hydrofluoric acid, pH is NOT a good indicator--a 1-percent HF solution has a lower pH than a 50-percent solution does, and a 10-percent HF solution has the highest pH of all. The range is from 3.1 (for a 1-percent solution) to 4.5 (for a 10-percent solution). HF is considered a weak acid--not all the HF molecules dissociate when the HF gas is put into water--but it's the most corrosive acid around.

How many liters of a 20 percent solution of saline should a nurse mix with 10 liters of a 50 percent solution to obtain a mixture that is 40 percent saline?

Let x = the amount of 20% solution Let x + 10 = the amount of the final solution. So we have: (.20)x + (.50)(10) = (.40)(x + 10) .20x + 5 = .40x + 4 .20x = 1 x = 5 liters of 20% solution of saline.
