Answer:
800 lb of pure solvent , 1700 lb of 20% solution and 500 lb of 10% solution will be mixed to form 3000 lb of 13 % solution .
Explanation:
3000 lb of 13% solution is required .
Total adhesive in weight = 3000 x .13 = 390 lb of adhesive
Available = 500 lb of 10% solution = 50 lb of adhesive
Rest = 390 - 50 = 340 lb required .
rest mass of solution = 3000 - 500 = 2500 lb
mass of adhesive required = 340 lb
Let the mass of 20% required be V
mass of adhesive = .20 V
.20 V = 340
V = 1700
rest of the volume = 2500 - 1700 = 800 lb which will be of pure solvent
So 800 lb of pure solvent , 1700 lb of 20% solution and 500 lb of 10% solution will be mixed to form 3000 lb of 13 % solution .
