Alaboratory technician needs to make a 36-liter batch of a 40% acid solution. how can the laboratory technician combine a batch of an acid solution that is pure acid with another that is 10% to get the desired concentration?

12 liters of pure acid with 24 liters of 10% acid solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that x liters of pure acid is mixed with y liters of 10% acis solution.

Therefore, x+y =36 liters ....... (1)

Again the resulting acis solution is of 40% concentration.

Hence,

⇒ x+0.1y =0.4x +0.4y

⇒ 0.6x =0.3y

⇒ 2x =y .....(2)

Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get,

3x =36, ⇒ x= 12 liters

And, from equation (2), we get y=2×12 =24 liters.

Therefore, the technician has to mix 12 liters of pure acid with 24 liters of 10% acid solution to get the requires solution. (Answer)

1 1/5

step-by-step explanation:

11.2

step-by-step explanation:

when doing tangent the tangent of the angle is equal to the opposite side from the angle over the adjacent side to the angle.

tan43 = x / 12

move 12 over by multiplying each side by 12

12tan43 = x

x = about 11.2
