Best Answer

For liquids (2% volume/volume): Simply add 2% of the volume to the water. This comes out to 0.06 gallons or 0.96 cups. Note: It is probably more accurate to add 0.06 gallons of whatever to 2.94 gallons of water but honestly errors in measurement will most likely be greater than this small difference. For solids (2% mass/volume): 3 gallons of water are approximately 11.356 liters which is 11356 ml. Since water has a density of roughly 1 g/ml this is equivalent to 11356 g. To make a 2% solution, you would need to add 2% of this weight of whatever you are dissolving which comes out to 0.227 g.

How many gallons of a 12 percent indicator solution must be mixed with a 20 percent indicator solution to get 10 gallons of a 14 percent solution?

Let x represent the amount of 12% solution and (10-x) represent the amount of 20% solution. The equation to solve is: 0.12x + 0.20(10-x) = 0.14(10). Solving for x gives x = 4, so you need 4 gallons of the 12% solution and 6 gallons of the 20% solution to make 10 gallons of the 14% solution.


How much bleach in 20 gallon water to make 1 percent solution?

A one percent solution means 1 part beach and 99 parts water. So we can answer the question by solving the equation 1 part bleach/99 parts water=x gallons bleach/20 gallons water. You can cross multiply. This is the same as 99x=20 so x=20/99 or .20 Let's check .20 gallons bleach/ 20 gallons water=.01 which is 1% .2 gallons is the same as 3.2 cups or 25.6 fluid oz.


How much acid is required to give 18000 gallons of water a 30 percent acid solution?

It will not be accurate, as mixing 1 gallon of acid with one of water will not make 2 gallons. But approximately 7714 gallons of 100% acid would be needed to make a 30% volume/volume acid solution. Your problem now is that very few liquid acids come as 100%, and most that do are very dangerous around water.


How many pounds of Sodium Hydroxide does it take to make 10 gallons of 50 percent Sodium Hydroxide solution?

To make 10 gallons of a 50% sodium hydroxide solution, you would need 10 pounds of sodium hydroxide. This is because the percentage indicates the weight of sodium hydroxide in the solution. Hence, in a 50% solution, half of the weight of the solution is sodium hydroxide.


How much water must be added to 40 ml of a 25 percent by weight solution to make a 2 percent by weight solution?

About 80ml of water must be added to 40ml of a 25 percent by weight solution to make a 2 percent by weight solution.


How many gallons of a 10 percent ammonia solution should be mixed with 50 gallons of a 30 percent ammonia solution to make a 15 percent ammonia solution?

Let x represent the gallons of 10% ammonia solution. The total volume of the mixture is x + 50 gallons. The equation for the mixture is: 0.10x + 0.30(50) = 0.15(x + 50). Solving this equation gives x = 50 gallons of the 10% ammonia solution needed.

How many gallons of a 80 percent antifreeze solution must be mixed with 70 gallons of 20 percent antifreeze to get a mixture that is 70 percent antifreeze?

70 gallons of 20% solution contains 70*0.2 = 14 gallons of antifreeze. Suppose you need G gallons of the 80% antifreeze solution. This will contain 0.8*G gallons of antifreeze. Total volume of solution = G + 70 gallons Volume of antifreeze required in this solutions to make it a 70% solution is 0.7*(G + 70) = 0.7G + 49 gallons. Volume of antifreeze = 14 + 0.8G gallons So 0.7G + 49 = 14 + 0.8G 0.7G + 35 = 0.8G 35 = 0.1G 350 = G Answer: 350 gallons.
