Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this equation, we must add 7 to each side. This gives us x=1
It would most likely take 3-4 hours, maybe even 5.
Suppose x grams of 8% solution should be mixed to make 100 g of 3% solution.
here we shall have:
the amount of 3% solution in the 100 g will be:
3/100*100=3 grams
the the equation will be, 8% of what quantity becomes 3g?
(8/100)*x=3
hence solving for x we shall have:
0.08x=3
x=3/0.08
x= 37.8 grams
The implication of this is that, when you have 37.5 grams of 8% solution, that will contain 3 of pure chemical and hence when you add more solvent on top of 37.5 g until you reach 100g, that will be 3% solution.
