A chemist mixes 175 milliliters of a solution that is 62% acid with 75 milliliters of pure acid. a) How many milliliters of acid are in the resulting mixture? b) What percentage of the resulting mixture is acid?
Added by Alicia R.
Step 1
- The first solution is 62% acid and has a total volume of 175 milliliters. - To find the amount of acid, multiply the total volume by the percentage of acid (in decimal form). - Amount of acid = 175 mL × 0.62 = 108.5 mL. Show more…
