Question

A chemist is using 353 milliliters of a solution of acid and water. If 14.7 of the solution is acid, how many milliliters of acid are there? Round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

The amount of Acid in a solution = 51.9 millimeters

Explanation:

Given that the total amount of solution of acid and water = 353 milliliters

Acid percentage = 14.7%

• Thus, in order to determine the amount of acid, all we need is to multiply 353 with 14.7% or 0.147.

i.e

Amount of Acid = 14.7% of 353

= 0.147 × 353

= 51.9 millimeters

Therefore, the amount of Acid in a solution = 51.9 millimeters
