Question

A chemist is using 388 milliliters of a solution of acid and wat 18.6% of the solution is acid, how many milliliters of acid are there? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

The total quantity of the acid in the solution is 72.2 milliliters.

Explanation:

It is given that the solution contains acid and wat.

In the solution 18.6% is acid and remaining is wat.

The total quantity of the solution is 388 milliliters. So, the total quantity of the acid in the solution is 18.6% of 388.

`388* (18.6)/(100)=72.168\approx 72.2`

Therefore the total quantity of the acid in the solution is 72.2 milliliters.
