Best Answer

The total volume of the new acid solution is 75 mL, and this solution is 65%, so the amount of acid in this solution is (0.65)*75mL = 48.75 mL

You have two equations and two unknowns:

x + y = 75

(0.40)*x + (1)*y = 48.75 {0.40 represents 40% and 1 represents 100% pure}

Solve and get x = 43.75 and y = 31.25, so you need 43.75 mL of the 40% acid and 31.25 mL of the pure acid.

How many grams of acetic acid should be dissolved in 100 grams of water to make a 4.0 percent by mass?

Let "A" be the grams of acetic acid added. Then (A)/(100 + A) = 0.04 That is A=(100 +A)x(0.04) or A-0.04A = 4 (0.96A) = 4 A = 4/(0.96) = 4.166666667 grams
