How much 9% solution can you make by diluting 350ml of a 15% solution?
mL1 x %1 = mL2 x %2
350 x 15 = mL x 9
To determine how much 9% solution can be made by diluting a 350ml 15% solution, we'll need to calculate the dilution ratio. The dilution ratio is the ratio of the volume of the concentrated solution (15% solution) to the final volume of the diluted solution (9% solution).
First, let's determine the dilution ratio:
Dilution Ratio = Volume of Concentrated Solution / Final Volume of Diluted Solution
In this case, the volume of the concentrated solution is 350ml, and we want to find the final volume of the diluted solution. So let's let the final volume of the diluted solution be V ml.
Dilution Ratio = 350ml / V
Now, let's set up the equation for the dilution ratio:
15% = 9% * (350ml / V)
Simplifying the equation:
0.15 = 0.09 * (350 / V)
Next, let's isolate V by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.09:
V / 350 = 0.15 / 0.09
Now, multiply both sides of the equation by 350 to solve for V:
V = (350 * 0.15) / 0.09
Calculating the value of V:
V = 583.3333
Therefore, you can make approximately 583.33ml of a 9% solution by diluting a 350ml 15% solution.
