say x= the amount of water in one tank

x+3000=6(x-3000) (you subtract 3000 from one tank and give it to the other)

x+3000=6x-18000

21000=5x

21000/5=x

4200=x

What is the Volume in liters of a 100mm long by 50mm diameter cylinder?

The volume in liters of a 100mm long by 50mm diameter cylinder is: 0.196 liters.


Is 15 gal greater than 50L?

To compare 15 gallons to 50 liters, we must first convert both measurements to the same unit. One gallon is equivalent to approximately 3.785 liters. Therefore, 15 gallons is equal to 56.775 liters. Since 56.775 liters is greater than 50 liters, 15 gallons is indeed greater than 50 liters.

1 dekaliter equals to 10 liters


A chemist wants to make a 10 solution of fertilizer. how much water and how much of a 30 solution should the chemist mix to get 30 L of a 10 solution?

30 liters of a 10 % solution of fertilizer has .1(30) = 3 liters of fertilizer 1 liter of 30% solution has .3 liter of fertilizer 10 liters of 30% solution has 3 liters of fertilizer so, the chemist needs 10 liters of the 30% solution and 20 liters of water to make 30 liters of a 10% solution.


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.
