If you diluted 95ml of a 7% benzocaine lotion to 5% how much could you produce? ___
It's inverse proportion:
95ml*7% = x ml * 5%
x=95*(7/5)=133 ml.
To calculate the amount of 5% benzocaine lotion that can be produced by diluting 95ml of a 7% benzocaine lotion, we can use the principles of dilution.
The formula for dilution is:
C1*V1 = C2*V2
where C1 is the initial concentration, V1 is the initial volume, C2 is the final concentration, and V2 is the final volume.
In this case, C1 = 7%, V1 = 95ml, C2 = 5%, and V2 is the unknown quantity we need to find.
Substituting the given values, the equation becomes:
7% * 95ml = 5% * V2
Simplifying the equation, we have:
0.07 * 95 = 0.05 * V2
6.65 = 0.05 * V2
Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.05, we get:
V2 = 6.65 / 0.05
V2 = 133ml
Therefore, by diluting 95ml of a 7% benzocaine lotion to 5%, you can produce 133ml of the diluted lotion.
