How much water should be added to 3 gallons of pure acid in order to obtain the 15% acid solution? HELP DUE BY TOMMOROW MORNING

1 answer:

5 0

3 gallons of acid = 100% concentration acid
? (water+acid) gallons = 15 concentration acid

Note: Every gallon of water added reduces the percentage concentration of acid. Therefore, the relationship is inverse proportionality.

Solution:

Total number of gallons (water+acid) = (3*100)/15 = 20 gallons
Therefore, gallons of water = 20-3 = 17 gallons
