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

\dfrac{2.5}{x+10}=0.1\implies25=x+10\implies x=15

and so you would need to add 15 L of pure water to get the desired concentration of acid.

Answer:

It all depends.

Step-by-step explanation:

It depends on what you are trying to do, and what you want to solve for. If you are trying to distribute the 3 into 2, you would place the parentheses around the 2. I hope I was able to help, but there is not much that I can do without more clear instructions!

How do you convert 60 miles per hour is how many feet per second? can iny one help
DiKsa [7]
That's two questions.

The answer to the second question is:  Yes.

The answer to the first question is:

Multiply 60 miles per hour by ' 1 ' a few times.  Use fractions that have
the same thing on top and bottom, since those are always equal to ' 1 '.
Then cancel units if the same unit is on the top and the bottom.
Here's how it goes:

(60 mi/hr) x (5280 ft/mile) x (1hr/3600 sec) = (60 x 5280 / 3600) ft/sec = <u>88 ft/sec</u>
