Question

How many quarts of pure antifreeze must be added to 5 quarts of a 20 ntifreeze solution to obtain a 50 ntifreeze solution?

Answer 1

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.
