10.8 Mixture Problems Goal: To solve problems involving the mixture of substances

Mixture Problems One solution is 80% acid and another is 30% acid. How much of each is required to make 200 L of solution that is 62% acid?

Steps to Solve Mixture Problems Set up a chart (4x4) Amount of Solution Percent of _______ Amount of _____ Solution 1 Solution 2 Final Solution

Steps to Solve Mixture Problems Convert the percentages to decimals and fill out the chart Multiply going across the chart Add going down the chart Set up 2 equations with 2 variables (system) Solve the system by substitution or addition

One solution is 80% acid and another is 30% acid. How much of each is required to make 200 L of solution that is 62% acid? Amount of solution Percent Acid = Amount of pure Acid 1 st Solution 2 nd Solution 3 rd Solution Let x = y = x.80(x)0.80 y (y) (200) 124

One solution is 80% acid and another is 30% acid. How much of each is required to make 200 L of solution that is 62% acid? Amount of solution Percent Acid = Amount of Acid 1 st Solution 2 nd Solution 3 rd Solution x.80(x)0.80 y (y) (200) 124 Y= 200-x 8x + 3y =1240 8x + 3 (200-x) =1240 8x x =1240 5x +600 =1240 5x = 640 X= 128 L Y = Y = 72 L

A chemist has one solution that is 60% acid and another that is 30% acid. How much of each solution is needed to make a 750ml solution that is 50% acid? Amount of solution Percent Acid = Amount of Acid 1 st Solution 2 nd Solution 3 rd Solution x.60(x)0.60 y (y) (750) 375

A chemist has one solution that is 28% oil and another that is 40% oil. How much of each solution is needed to make a 300 L solution that is 36% oil? Amount of solution Percent Acid = Amount of Acid 1 st Solution 2 nd Solution 3 rd Solution x.28(x)0.28 y0.40.4(y) (300) 108

Try to make your own chart How many gallons of a 50% salt solution must be mixed with 60 gallons of a 15% solution to obtain a solution that is 40% salt?

Amount of Solution (gallons) Percent of Salt Amount of Salt Solution 1x.50.5x Solution Final Solutiony.40.4y

System x + 60 =y 0.5x + 9 = 0.4y 5x +90 = 4y 5x + 90 = 4 (x +60) 5x + 90 = 4x x + 90 =240 x =150 gallons = y 210 gallons =y

Coffee Beans How many pounds of coffee beans selling for $2.20 per pound should be mixed with 2 pounds of coffee beans selling for $1.40 per pound to obtain a mixture selling for $2.04 per pound?

Pounds of Coffee $ per pound total cost Coffee mix 1X$ x Coffee mix 22$ Final Coffee mix Y$ y

System 2.20x = 2.04 yX + 2 =y

Your Turn Come up with your own mixture word problem. Make it interesting! Remember to include: Amount of SolutionWieght of Object % of (acid /water / oil/salt/etc)Cost per weight Amount of (acid / water /oil/salt/etc) Total cost Solution 1 and 22 objects Final SolutionMixture of 2 objects
