Objective: To solve mixture

problems.

Standard 5.0
Mixture Problems Notes Paper
1) How much water was added to 12 L of a 35% boric acid
solution to produce a solution that was 20% boric acid?

amount % acid = total value

Multiply across
water x 0 0
solution 12 .35 .35(12)
Mixture X + 12 .20 .20(x + 12) Add down

.35(12) + 0 = .20(x + 12)

4.2 = .20x + 2.4
1.8 = .2x 9 L water
9=x

2) Milk with 3% butterfat was mixed with cream with 27%
butterfat to produce 36 L of half-and-half with 11%
butterfat content. How much of each was used?
amount % bf = total value
Multiply across
milk x .03 .03x
cream 36-x .27 .27(36-x)
Mixture 36 .11 .11(36) Add down

.03x + .27(36 x) = .11(36)

x = 24 L (3%)
.03x + 9.72 .27x = 3.96
12 L (27%)
-.24x + 9.72 = 3.96
-.24x = -5.76

3) How much water was added to 3 L of a 27% boric acid
solution to produce a solution that was 18% boric acid?
This is like problem #1
amount % acid = total value
Multiply across
water X 0 0
solution 3 .27 .27(3)
Mixture x+3 .18 .18(x + 3) Add down

0 + .27(3) = .18(x + 3)
.81 = .18x + .54
.27 = .18x 1.5 L water
1.5 = x

4) A radiator contains 6 L of a 48% antifreeze mixture. How
much pure antifreeze should be added to make a mixture
that is 74% antifreeze?
amount % af = total value
Multiply across
pure anti X 1.00 X
48% anti 6 .48 .48(6)
Mixture x+6 .74 .74(x + 6) Add down

x + .48(6) = .74x + 4.44

x + 2.88 = .74x + 4.44
.26x + 2.88 = 4.44 6 L pure antifreeze
.26x = 1.56
