acid/water/volume

40 Views Asked by At

I have a solution that is 50% acid and 50% water. I add 3 pints of pure acid to the solution and find that the solution is now 80% acid and 20% water. What is the volume of the original container.

Assuming that acid and water do not react together to affect percentages, if the original volume was x pints, how much was acid, how much water? Once you add 3 pints of acid, how much is acid, how much water?
