A chemist is using 357 milliliters of a solution of acid and water. If 13.2 % of the solution is acid, how many milliliters of acid are there? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer: The quantity of acid in the solution is 47.1 ml Step-by-step explanation:Given as :The quantity of solution of acid and water = 357 millimetersThe percentage of acid in the solution = 13.2 %Let the quantity of acid in the solution = x mlSo, According to question 13.2 % of the total quantity of acid in the solution = xI.e x = 13.2 % × 357Or, x = [tex]\frac{13.2}{100}[/tex] × 357Or, x = 0.132 × 357∴ x = 47.124 millimetersSo , The quantity of acid = 47.1 mlHence The quantity of acid in the solution is 47.124 ml Answer
