I can help you with that!
A) The amount of pure acid in 40 oz of a 60% acid solution can be calculated by multiplying the total amount of solution (40 oz) by the concentration of acid (60% or 0.60).
To find the amount of pure acid:
40 oz * 0.60 = 24 oz
Therefore, there are 24 ounces of pure acid in a 40 oz solution of 60% acid.
B) For a 35% acid solution, you would use the same method:
40 oz * 0.35 = 14 oz
So, in a 40 oz solution of 35% acid, there are 14 ounces of pure acid.
C) When dealing with a 15% acid solution:
40 oz * 0.15 = 6 oz
Thus, in a 40 oz solution of 15% acid, there are 6 ounces of pure acid.
D) Lastly, for a 40% acid solution:
40 oz * 0.40 = 16 oz
In a 40 oz solution of 40% acid, there are 16 ounces of pure acid.
I hope this breakdown helps you understand how to calculate the amount of pure acid in different concentration solutions! If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask.
