Question

What volume of 24% trichloroacetic acid (tca) is needed to prepare eight 3 ounce bottles of 10% tca solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

295.7 mL of 24% trichloroacetic acid (tca) is needed .

Explanation:

Let the volume of 24% trichloroacetic acid solution be x

Volume of required 10% trichloroacetic acid solution =8 bottles of 3 ounces

= 24 ounces = 709.68 mL

(1 ounces =  29.57 mL)

Amount of trichloroacetic acid in 24% solution of x volume of solution will be equal to amount of trichloroacetic acid in 10% solution of volume 709.68 mL.

$x\times \frac{24}{100}=709.68 mL\times \frac{10}{100}$

x = 295.7 mL

295.7 mL of 24% trichloroacetic acid (tca) is needed .
