Grant plans to evaporate enough water from 22 gallons of a 16 mmonia solution to make a 24 mmonia solution. Which equation can he use to find n, the number of gallons of water he should remove?

Respuesta :

He can use 3.52/22-n = 24/100 equation to find n, where n is the number of gallons of water.

Calculation of amount of ammonia in 22 gallon of 16% ammonia solution.

amount of ammonia  = 16%×22 gallon = 3.53 gallon

The amount of ammonia remains the same after evaporation of water but the total amount of solution is reduced because solution contain ammonia as well as water . So, if water is evaporate then solution reduced.

Amount of water remains = 22 - n

Desired concentration, 24% = 24/100

Therefore the final equation becomes,  

3.52/22-n = 24/100
