You are working in a chemistry lab. You have 1000 milliliters of pure acid. A dilution of acid is created by adding pure acid to water. A 40% dilution contains 40% acid and 60% water. You have been asked to make a 40% dilution and a 60% dilution of pure acid.

a.Write an equation in standard form that models the possible quantities of each dilution you can prepare using all 1000 milliliters of pure acid.
b.You prepare 700 milliliters of the 40% dilution how much of the 60% dilution can you prepare
c. How much water do you need to prepare 700 milliliters of the 40% dilution?

Did you know?

Did you know that dilutions in chemistry are created by adding pure acid to water? For example, a 40% dilution contains 40% acid and 60% water. In this scenario, you have 1000 milliliters of pure acid and are asked to make a 40% dilution as well as a 60% dilution of pure acid. To model the quantities of each dilution, you can write an equation in standard form. If you prepare 700 milliliters of the 40% dilution, you might wonder how much of the 60% dilution you can prepare. Additionally, you may be curious about the amount of water needed to prepare the 700 milliliters of the 40% dilution. These types of calculations are important in the field of chemistry and are used to properly dilute substances for various purposes and experiments.
