Best Answer

The total volume of the new acid solution is 75 mL, and this solution is 65%, so the amount of acid in this solution is (0.65)*75mL = 48.75 mL

You have two equations and two unknowns:

x + y = 75

(0.40)*x + (1)*y = 48.75 {0.40 represents 40% and 1 represents 100% pure}

Solve and get x = 43.75 and y = 31.25, so you need 43.75 mL of the 40% acid and 31.25 mL of the pure acid.

How many grams of acetic acid should be dissolved in 100 grams of water to make a 4.0 percent by mass?

4.0% by mass means 4.0 grams of acetic acid in 100 grams of solution. Therefore, 4.0 grams of acetic acid should be dissolved in 100 grams of water to make a 4.0% solution.

Jorge has four liters of 30 percent acid solution how much water should he add to make 25 percent acid solution'?

Jorge needs to add 2 liters of water to the 30% acid solution to make a 25% acid solution. This can be calculated using a dilution formula: initial acid amount / final total amount = final acid concentration.

How much pure acid should be added to 50 ml of a 10 percent acid solution to give a 50 percent acid solution?

A 50 ml solution that is 10% acid will consist of 5 ml of acid (10% of the volume) and 45 ml of water (90% of the volume). You're not adding any water, but you want to add enough acid to make a solution that is 50% acid and 50% water. You will need to have a total of 45 ml of acid in the mixture to make it a 50/50 solution, since the amount of water is also 45 ml. You have 5 ml in there already, so you would need to add 40 ml of acid. That would make a total 90 ml solution that is 50% water (45 ml) and 50% acid (45 ml).
