How many liters each 0f a 30 antifreeze solution and a 60 antifreeze solution must be mixed to make 10 litters of a 42 antifreeze solution?

6 litres of the 30% and 4 litres of 60%.


How many gallons of a solution that is 75 antifreeze must be mixed with 4 gallons of a 30 solution to obtain a mixture that is 50 antifreeze?

You will need 3.2 gallons.


How many liters of water must be added to 7 liters of a 20 percent acid solution to obtain a 10 percent acid solution?

7 liters of a 20% acid solution consists of 1.4 liters of acid (20% of the total volume) mixed with 5.6 liters of water (80% of the total volume). The amount of acid isn't going to change in the new solution. You are just going to add enough water to make it a 10% solution instead of a 20% solution. So it will be more dilute. That means that 1.4 liters of acid will represent 1/10 of the volume of the new solution. So the total volume of the new solution will be 10 x 1.4 or 14 liters. The amount of water in the new solution will be 14 - 1.4 = 12.6 liters. That is a difference of 12.6 - 5.6 = 7 liters from the amount of water you started with. So you need to add 7 liters of water to the original 20% solution to make it a 10% solution. This makes sense because if you double the amount of the mixture from 7 liters to 14 liters and the amount of acid is unchanged, the solution will be half as strong.


A chemist has one solution which is 50 percent acid and a second solution which is 25 percent acid how much of each should be mixed to make a 10 liters of a 40 percent acid solution?

6 litres of 50% + 4 litres of 25%


How many gallons of a 50 percent antifreeze solution must be mixed with 90 gallons of 25 percent antifreeze to get a mixture of 40 percent antifreeze?

135 gallons. Let the multiple of 90 gallons to add be x, then using the percentages of antifreeze in the solutions: (25 + 50x) ÷ (1 + x) = 40 ⇒ 25 + 50x = 40 + 40x ⇒ 10x = 15 ⇒ x = 1.5 Therefore add 90 x 1.5 = 135 gallons.
