Question 90
A chemist mixes two liquids 1 and 2. One litre of liquid 1 weighs 1 kg and one litre of liquid 2 weighs 800 gm. If half litre of the mixture weighs 480 gm, then the percentage of liquid 1 in the mixture, in terms of volume, is
Solution
The weight/volume(g/L) for liquid 1 = 1000
The weight/volume(g/L) for liquid 2 = 800
The weight/volume(g/L) of the mixture = 480/(1/2) = 960
Using alligation the ratio of liquid 1 and liquid 2 in the mixture = (960-800)/(1000-960) = 160/40 = 4:1
Hence the percentage of liquid 1 in the mixture = 4*100/(4+1)=80
