tv=tv, so 0,25x50=0,1v; v=12,5/0,1; v=125ml of water. So the solution must have 125ml of water for the title to be 10%, then we must add 125-50ml(75ml) of water to it.

To get a 2% acid solution, you need to dilute the 50% acid solution with water. Since the final volume is 2 gallons, you will need to mix 2 gallons of water with the 2 gallons of 50% acid solution to get a 2% acid solution.

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 gallons of a 80 percent acid solution must be mixed with 60 gallons of a 16 percent solution to obtain a solution that is 60 percent?
Let x be the gallons of the 80% acid solution needed. The amount of acid in the 80% solution is 0.8x, and the amount in the 16% solution is 0.16*60=9.6. We want a total of (x+60) gallons of solution with 60% acid, so we have the equation 0.8x + 9.6 = 0.6(x+60). Solving for x gives x = 24 gallons.
A solution of 30 percent acid and a solution of 60 percent acid are to be mixed to produce 50 liters of 57 percent acid How many liters of each solution should be used?
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.
How many gallons of a 40 percent antifreeze solution should be mixed with a 10 percent solution to make 50 gallons of a 30 percent solution?
Let the amount of pure alcohol be x, so the amount of 25% solution would be x + 5. So we have:x + 0.15(5) = 0.25(x + 5)x + 0.75 = 0.25x + 1.25x - 0.25x = 1.25 - 0.750.75x = 0.5x = 0.5/0.75 = 0.666... = 6/9 = 1/3 of the literAdded noteto deal with the so called 'dilution contraction' of total volumeIf it were % by MASS ( %m/m), it's quite easy to do (based on the 'Mass Conservation Law). You calculate with mass (kg) and mass-% (%m/m) i.s.o. volume (L) and vol% (%v/v).However if the meaning was: % by Volume ( %v/v) then calculation appears to become quite complicated, but not impossible if you know at least the density values of all solutions (original 100%v/v or 15%v/v and final 25%v/v).DO NOT use: (orig. volume) + (added volume) = final volume, as done above, if exact figures are necessary.It's only a rule of thump, an approximation. This is because fluids can contract on mixing at dilution. There is no rule such as: conservation of volume.Your case: 0.33 L + 5 L (is not equal but) < 5.33 L final solution.
How many ounces of 15 percent percent alcohol must be mixed with 23 percent alcohol solution to make 100 ounces?
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.

How much pure acid should be mixed with 6 gallons of a 50 percent acid solution in order to get an 80 percent acid solution?
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.

How many gallons of a 80 percent acid solution must be mixed with 60 gallons of a 16 percent solution to obtain a solution that is 60 percent?
Let x be the gallons of the 80% acid solution needed. The amount of acid in the 80% solution is 0.8x, and the amount in the 16% solution is 0.16*60=9.6. We want a total of (x+60) gallons of solution with 60% acid, so we have the equation 0.8x + 9.6 = 0.6(x+60). Solving for x gives x = 24 gallons.
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.
