If the percentages specified are by mass and the 900 ml of water are assumed to be at standard temperature and pressure, this problem can be solved as follows: The 900 ml of water will have a mass of 900 grams. Call the unknown mass of the 37 percent solution to be added m. this will contain 0.37m grams of formaldehyde and 0.63m grams of water, and 0.37m/(900 + m) = 0.10. Then, multiplying both sides by (m + 900), 0.37m = 0.10m + 90, or 0.27m = 90, or m = 3.3 X 102 grams of the 37 % solution to be added, to the justified number of significant digits.
