solution a is 20 % sugar and solution b is 80 % sugar . if you have 30 ounces of solution a and 60 ounces of solution b , in what ratio could you mix solution a with solution b to produce 50 ounces of a 50 % sugar solution ?
[ "6 : 4", "6 : 14", "4 : 4", "4 : 6" ]
C
forget the volumes for the time being . you have to mix 20 % and 80 % solutions to get 50 % . this is very straight forward since 50 is int he middle of 20 and 80 so we need both solutions in equal quantities . if this does n ' t strike , use w 1 / w 2 = ( a 2 - aavg ) / ( aavg - a 1 ) w 1 / w 2 = ( 80 - 50 ) / ( 50 - ...

[ "hydrating", "diluting", "concentrating", "dehydrating" ]
D
The strong affinity of concentrated sulfuric acid for water makes it a good dehydrating agent. It is possible to dry gases and immiscible liquids that do not react with the acid by passing them through the acid. Sulfuric acid is a strong diprotic acid that ionizes in two stages. In aqueous solution, the first stage is ...
