Question

Amy needs to make 10 L of 42% sulphuric

Answer 1

The ratio of 30% to 60% she should mix is; 3:2

Ratio of mixing

From the task content;

Let the volume of 30% sulphuric acid

solution and 60% sulphuric acid solution to be mixed be x and y respectively.

Hence, it follows that;

• x + y = 10

• 0.3x + 0.6y = 4.2

By solving simultaneously, it follows that;

• x = 6L

• y = 4L.

Therefore, Ratio x/y = 6/4 = 3/2
