Quarts of pure antifreeze must be added to 5 quarts of a 20 antifreeze solution to obtain a 50 antifreeze solution is 3.
Antifreeze solution is a solute that lowers the freezing point of the liquid in a solution.
For calculating the amount of quarts of pure antifreeze solution added can be given by:
5×20/100 + x × 100% = (x+5) × 50/100
Where, x is the amount of antifreeze required for addition and pure antifreeze is 100% of the antifreeze taken.
1 + x = (x+5) 0.5
1 + x = 0.5x + 2.5
0.5x = 1.5
x = 3
So, 3 quarts of pure antifreeze must be added to 5 quarts of a 20 antifreeze solution to obtain a 50 antifreeze solution.
