How many gallons of pure water should be added to 10 gallons of a solution containing 15% juice so that the remaining solution contains 5% juice?
Fill in the table: What is the amount of juice in the original solution?
a = What is the original amount of solution in gallons?
b = How much juice is added?
c = How much total solution is added? d

Respuesta :

1.5 gallons of juice
a. 10 gallons
b. none
c. 10 gallons (all water)

hope its right!!! good luck

In order to get a solution that contains 5% juice, 20 gallons of pure water should be added

a. The amount of juice in the original solution is 1.5 gallons

b. Original amount of solution is 10 gallons

c. No juice is added

d. 20 gallons solution (pure water) is added

From dilution formula

[tex]C_{1}V_{1} = C_{2}V_{2}[/tex]

Where [tex]C_{1}[/tex] is the initial concentration

[tex]V_{1}[/tex] is the initial volume

[tex]C_{2}[/tex] is the final concentration

[tex]V_{2}[/tex] is the final volume

From the question, [tex]C_{1}[/tex] = 15%, [tex]V_{1}[/tex] = 10 gallons, [tex]C_{2}[/tex] = 5% and [tex]V_{2}[/tex] is unknown

Putting these values into the formula, we get

15% × 10 = 5% × [tex]V_{2}[/tex]

150 = 5 × [tex]V_{2}[/tex]

[tex]V_{2}[/tex]  = 150/5

[tex]V_{2}[/tex]  = 30 gallons

This means the final volume of the solution to give a concentration of 5% will be 30 gallons

Gallons of pure water added = [tex]V_{2}[/tex]  - [tex]V_{1}[/tex]

Gallons of pure water added = 30 gallons - 10 gallons

Gallons of pure water added = 20 gallons

Hence, In order to get a solution that contains 5% juice, 20 gallons of pure water should be added.

For the amount of juice in the original solution,

The volume of the original solution is 10 gallons and it contains 15% juice.

∴ Amount of juice in the original solution = 15% × 10

Amount of juice in the original solution = [tex]\frac{15}{100}\times 10[/tex]

Amount of juice in the original solution = [tex]\frac{150}{100}[/tex]

Amount of juice in the original solution = 1.5 gallons

Hence, the amount of juice in the original solution is 1.5 gallons
