Answer:
a substance that dissolves another to form a solution: Water is a solvent for sugar.
The doctor required a 15% 750mL solution. To lower the concentration of the solution, you have to add more diluting liquid.
750mL * 0.15 = 112.5mL. This 112.5mL signifies the pure chemical or compound in the solution. This 112.5mL can be taken from the stock solution.
112.5 * 2 = 250mL of stock solution would be needed and 500 mL of the diluting agent should be added. Adding the two together would result to a 750mL solution of 15% concentration.
