That all depends on what you want the final concentration of alcohol to be.

Let x be the ounces of 15% alcohol solution. The amount of alcohol in the 15% solution is 0.15x, and the amount of alcohol in the 23% solution is 0.23(100 - x). Setting up the equation 0.15x + 0.23(100 - x) = 0.15(100) solves for x, which is approximately 38.5 ounces of the 15% alcohol solution needed.

What is the percent of alcohol in rock and rye?
Most whiskeys (rye) are 86 proof. Percent is half that so they are 43% alcohol. When mixed with anything in a drink they become diluted -- less alcohol %
Is ethyl alcohol an example of homogeneous or heterogeneous?
Ethyl alcohol is an example of a homogeneous mixture because it is uniformly mixed at a molecular level, with the alcohol molecules evenly distributed throughout the solution.
What is the volume of attraction when alcohol and water were mixed?
When alcohol and water are mixed, they form a solution with a volume that is a bit less than the sum of the volumes of the individual components. This decrease in volume is known as "volume of attraction" and is due to the molecules of alcohol and water fitting together in a way that reduces the empty space between them.
What is mixed with alcohol to disinfect?
Alcohol is typically mixed with water to create a disinfecting solution. The most common disinfectants are composed of at least 60% alcohol and the rest is water. Some disinfectants may also contain other ingredients such as hydrogen peroxide or glycerol.
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 many ounces of a ten percent alcohol solution must be mixed with 6 ounces of a fifteen percent alcohol solution to make a thirteen percent alcohol solution?
4 ounces
How many ounces of a 25 percent alcohol solution must be mixed with 9 ounces of a 30 percent alcohol solution to make a 28 percent alcohol solution?
Let a be the number of ounces of 25% alcohol required. Then, 25a + (30x9) = 28(9 + a) 25a + 270 = 252 + 28a 3a = 18 a = 6 Then 6 ounces of 25% alcohol + 9 ounces of 30% alcohol produces 15 ounces of 28% alcohol.
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.
How many ounces of a 35 percent alcohol solution must be mixed with 14 ounces of a 40 percent alcohol solution to make a 37 percent alcohol solution?
.35x+.40*14=0.37(x+14) .35x=.37x-5.6+5.18 .35x=.37x-.42 -.02x=.42 x=21 check 21*.35+14*.4=7.35+5.6=12.95 12.95/(14+21)=.37 so you would need 21 ounces of 0.35 mixed in with 14 ounces of 40 % to get a 37% solution of which you would have 35 ounces
A pharmacist needs to obtain a 70 percent alcohol solution How many ounces of a 30 percent alcohol solution must be mixed with 40 ounces of an 80 percent alcohol solution to obtain 70 percent alcohol?
(Note: This answer assumes that the "ounces" specified are avoirdupois or other weight ounces and that percentages are by weight; otherwise possible volume changes on dilution must by considered.) The weight of pure alcohol in each solution is the product of the percentage and the total weight of the solution. Therefore, designating the unknown weight of 30 % alcohol as w, from the problem statement 0.30w + 0.80(40) = 0.70(w + 40), or 0.30w + 32 = 0.70w + 28, or 32 - 28 = w(0.70 - 0.30) or w = 4/0.40 = 10 ounces of 30 % alcohol.
