If have 85% phosphoric acid (by weight), and mix 10mL of it with 75mL of water, what is your new concentration

??

I think its 10% wt... is this right?

Answer:
CfVf = CiVi + CaVa

Cf = (CiVi + CaVa) / (Vf)

Cf = (85% acid)(10ml) + (0% acid)(75ml) / (85ml)

Cf = (85% acid)(10ml) / (85ml)

Cf = [ 10% acid ]


Yes, you got it.
We start with

%(conc)*V(conc)=%(D)*V(D)

Where:
conc = concentration
V=Volume
and
D=diluted solution


therefore:

85%*10mL=x(85)

Solve for x

x=10% You are correct
