To solve this, we’ll use a classic concentration formula based on the amount of solute (salt) and total solution volume.
🧮 Step-by-step Breakdown
Let’s define:
Initial volume of solution: V1=80 ml
Initial concentration: C1=15%
Final concentration: C2=32%
Let x be the amount of salt added (in ml or grams—assuming density is consistent)
We assume the salt is added without changing the volume of the solution significantly, so the new volume becomes 80+x ml.
1️⃣ Find initial amount of salt:
Initial salt=15%×80=0.15×80=12 ml
2️⃣ Set up the equation for final concentration:
12+x80+x=0.32
3️⃣ Solve the equation:
Multiply both sides by 80+x:
12+x=0.32(80+x)
Distribute:
12+x=25.6+0.32x
Bring like terms together:
x−0.32x=25.6−12
0.68x=13.6
Divide:
x=13.6/0.68=20
✅ Final Answer:
You must add 20 ml (or grams) of salt to increase the concentration to 32%.
