Best Answer

For liquids (2% volume/volume): Simply add 2% of the volume to the water. This comes out to 0.06 gallons or 0.96 cups. Note: It is probably more accurate to add 0.06 gallons of whatever to 2.94 gallons of water but honestly errors in measurement will most likely be greater than this small difference. For solids (2% mass/volume): 3 gallons of water are approximately 11.356 liters which is 11356 ml. Since water has a density of roughly 1 g/ml this is equivalent to 11356 g. To make a 2% solution, you would need to add 2% of this weight of whatever you are dissolving which comes out to 0.227 g.

How much bleach in 20 gallon water to make 1 percent solution?

A one percent solution means 1 part beach and 99 parts water. So we can answer the question by solving the equation 1 part bleach/99 parts water=x gallons bleach/20 gallons water. You can cross multiply. This is the same as 99x=20 so x=20/99 or .20 Let's check .20 gallons bleach/ 20 gallons water=.01 which is 1% .2 gallons is the same as 3.2 cups or 25.6 fluid oz.


How do you make a 9 percent saline solution?

How much acid is required to give 18000 gallons of water a 30 percent acid solution?

It will not be accurate, as mixing 1 gallon of acid with one of water will not make 2 gallons. But approximately 7714 gallons of 100% acid would be needed to make a 30% volume/volume acid solution. Your problem now is that very few liquid acids come as 100%, and most that do are very dangerous around water.

How many gallons of a 80 percent antifreeze solution must be mixed with 70 gallons of 20 percent antifreeze to get a mixture that is 70 percent antifreeze?

70 gallons of 20% solution contains 70*0.2 = 14 gallons of antifreeze. Suppose you need G gallons of the 80% antifreeze solution. This will contain 0.8*G gallons of antifreeze. Total volume of solution = G + 70 gallons Volume of antifreeze required in this solutions to make it a 70% solution is 0.7*(G + 70) = 0.7G + 49 gallons. Volume of antifreeze = 14 + 0.8G gallons So 0.7G + 49 = 14 + 0.8G 0.7G + 35 = 0.8G 35 = 0.1G 350 = G Answer: 350 gallons.
