Suppose you add x liters of pure water to the 10 L of 25% acid solution. The new solution's volume is x + 10 L. Each L of pure water contributes no acid, while the starting solution contains 2.5 L of acid. So in the new solution, you end up with a concentration of (2.5 L)/(x + 10 L), and you want this concentration to be 10%. So we have
and so you would need to add 15 L of pure water to get the desired concentration of acid.
Step-by-step explanation:
if that's what you mean

<em>equation, operations, equivalent, binomial, square root </em>
For this case we have an equation in which we must apply operations to rewrite it in an equivalent way. We must start by raising both sides of the equation to the square. Thus, we eliminate the square root of the left side of equality and finally solve the binomial of the right side of equality.
So we have:
By definition:
Thus, is equivalent to
