At the pharmacy, Mark has asked for 80% alcohol, but the pharmacy doesn’t have one, so he bought half liter of 96% alcohol and a liter of distilled water. How much distilled water does he need to pour into the half liter of 96% alcohol, so he could get 80% alcohol product?
Best answer
Answer – 0.1 liters of water
Explanation-
Mark has 0.96/2 liters of pure alcohol i.e. 0.48L
To get 80%,
he needs 0.96/2/0.8=0.6 total liters of fluid.
He already has 1/2 a liter of fluid, so he needs 0.6-0.5=0.1 liters of water to get there.
