Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a mixture of two liquids, if the first liquid is 60% pure and the second is 80% pure, what is the overall purity if they are mixed in equal volumes?
  • Step 1: Identify the purity of the first liquid, which is 60%.
  • Step 2: Identify the purity of the second liquid, which is 80%.
  • Step 3: Since the liquids are mixed in equal volumes, we will average their purities.
  • Step 4: Add the purity percentages together: 60% + 80% = 140%.
  • Step 5: Divide the total by 2 to find the average: 140% / 2 = 70%.
  • Step 6: The overall purity of the mixture is 70%.
