How many liters of a 20 percent solution of saline should a nurse mix with 10 liters of a 50 percent solution to obtain a mixture that is 40 percent saline?
Let x = the amount of 20% solution Let x + 10 = the amount of the final solution. So we have: (.20)x + (.50)(10) = (.40)(x + 10) .20x + 5 = .40x + 4 .20x = 1 x = 5 liters of 20% solution of saline.
How many ml of water should be added to 95 percent ethyl alcohol to make 1 liter of a 30 percent ethyl alcohol solution?
684 ml
In what proportion should 95 percent percent alcohol be mised with 30 percent percent alcohol to make 70 percent percent?
x = volume of 95% y = volume of 30% so (x+y) is volume of 70% 0.95 x + 0.30 y = 0.70(x+y) 0.95 x + 0.30 y = 0.70x + 0.70y 0.25x = 0.40y x/y = 0.40/0.25 = 8/5 for every 8 volumes of 95% mix in 5 volumes of 30%the volumes can be ml, liters, cups, pints etc.
How many gallons each of 25 percent alcohol and 35 percent alcohol should be mixed to obtain 20 gallons of 32 percent alcohol?
The question is best solved using basic algebra. You need 20 gallons of 32% alcohol. This will contain 0.32*20 = 6.4 gallons of pure alcohol. Now suppose you have X gallons of 25% alcohol in the mixture. That contains 0.25X gallons of pure alcohol. Also, since you have 20 gallons in total, you must have 20-X gallons of the 35% alcohol. This will contain 0.35*(20-X) = 7 - 0.35X gallons of pure alcohol. Then, the total amount of pure alcohol is 0.25X + 7 - 0.35X = 7 - 0.1X gallons. So you have 7 - 0.1X = 6.4 or 0.6 = 0.1X or X = 6. So the answer is 6 gallons of 25% alcohol and 14 gallons of the stronger stuff!
How many ounces of the 50 percent alcohol solution should be mixed with the 1 percent alcohol solution to make 8 oz of the 20 percent alcohol solution?
Let x = ounces of 50% solution, and y = ounces of 1% solution. So that we have: 0.5x + 0.01y = 8(0.2) which is a linear equation in two variables, meaning there are infinitely many choices of mixing those solutions.
A mixture of 40 liters of milk and water contains 10 percent water How much water should be added to this so that water may be 20 percent in the new mixture?
Initially, there are 36 liters of milk and 4 liters of water in the mixture. To increase the water content to 20%, you would need to add 16 liters of water to make a total of 20 liters of water in the new mixture.
How many liters of a 20 percent solution of acid should be added to 10 liters of a 30 percent solution of acid to obtain a 25 percent solution?
10 liters.
What fraction of 10 percent alcohol should be mixed with 70 percent alcohol to obtain 50 percent alcohol?
2/3 of 70% and 1/3 of 10%
How many liters of a 20 percent solution of saline should a nurse mix with 10 liters of a 50 percent solution to obtain a mixture that is 40 percent saline?

How much water should be mixed to 12ml of alcohol to obtain a 12 percent of alcohol solution?
To obtain a 12% alcohol solution, you would need to mix 12ml of alcohol with 48ml of water. This would give you a total volume of 60ml, with 12% of it being alcohol.
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%
What mixture will thaw ice on a car and what is it made of?
Most de-icer sprays for windshields and car locks contain methanol (methyl alcohol) and propylene glycol (antifreeze). These can be harmful to humans and pets, so should be used sparingly and wiped up after use.
What percent of alcohol do the human body needs?
The human body does not need any percentage of alcohol for optimal health. Consuming alcohol is a personal choice and should be done in moderation to avoid negative health consequences.
How do you distill hand sanitizer in order to make edible alcohol?
Distilling hand sanitizer to make edible alcohol is not recommended. Hand sanitizer contains ingredients that are toxic if ingested, such as isopropyl alcohol. It is best to purchase food-grade alcohol for consumption, as it is manufactured specifically for this purpose and is safe for human consumption.
