50% acid in a 6 gallon solution means that 3 gallons are acid. 9 gallons more acid will give you a total of 12 gallons of acid in a 15 gallon solution. 12 is 80% of 15.
Answer:12mL of 50% solution and 24mL of 20% solution must be mixed to produce 36mL of a 30% acid solutionLet x = 50% acid solutiony = 20% acid solution Equations:x + y = 36mL ----equation (1)0.5x + 0.2y = 0.3 * 360.5x + 0.2y = 10.8multiplying by 105x + 2y = 108 ----equation (2)eliminating equations (1) and (2)-2(x + y = 36)-2-2x -2y = -725x +2y = 108=========3x = 36x=12substitute x=12 to equation (1)12 + y = 36y = 36 - 12y = 24thus 12mL of 50% solution and 24mL of 20% solution must be mixed to produce 36mL of a 30% acid solution

mary mixed 2l of an 80% acid solution with 6l of a 20% acid solution. what was the percent of acid in the resulting mixture
10 liters.
The chemist will use 100 liters of the 80% acid solution and 100 liters of the 30% acid solution to make a 200-liter solution that is 62% acid. The amount of acid in the 80% solution will be 0.8 * 100 = 80 liters, and in the 30% solution, it will be 0.3 * 100 = 30 liters.
6 litres of 50% + 4 litres of 25%
To reduce a 25% acid solution to 10%, the water needed can be calculated using the formula: (10 x (25-10))/(10) = 1.5 liters. So, 1.5 liters of pure water must be mixed with the 10 liters of 25% acid solution to reduce it to 10%.

Let x be the liters of the 30% acid solution and y be the liters of the 60% acid solution. We can set up a system of equations: x + y = 50 (total liters) and 0.3x + 0.6y = 0.57*50 (acid content). Solving this system of equations, we find that x = 20 liters of the 30% acid solution and y = 30 liters of the 60% 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.
