KarishmaB for similar questions, it is ok to ignore the volume? will the answer always be correct?
KarishmaB


Forget the volumes for the time being.
You have to mix 20% and 80% solutions to get 50%. This is very straight forward since 50 is int he middle of 20 and 80 so we need both solutions in equal quantities. If this doesn't strike, use
w1/w2 = (A2 - Aavg)/(Aavg - A1)
w1/w2 = (80 - 50)/(50 - 20) = 1/1
So the volume of the two solutions will be equal. Answer has to be 4:4.
