Chapter 2, Problem 2.1.1.566

(choose chapter or problem)

Acid Mixture Suppose that x mL of pure acid are added to 125 mL of a 60% acid solution. How many mL of pure acid must be added to obtain a solution of 83% acid?

a) Explain why the concentration \(C(x)\) of the new mixture is \(C(x)=\frac{x+0.6(125)}{x+125}\).

(b) Suppose the viewing window in the figure is used to find a solution to the problem. What is the equation of the horizontal line?
