Nazia has two quarts of a 30% acid solution and four pints of a 20% acid solution. If she mixes them, what will be the concentration of the resulting solution? [1 quart = 2 pints]

Respuesta :

Answer: Acid concentration will be 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution 1: 2 quarts(=4 pints) of a 30% acid

concentration = 0.3*4 = 1.2

Solution 2: 4 pint of a 20% acid

concentration = 4*0.2 = 0.8

Final solution: total volume = 4 pints + 4 pints = 8 pints

Final Concentration:

[tex]\frac{1.2+0.8}{8}[/tex] = 0.25

In the resulting mixture, the concentration is 25% of acid solution.
