Ujarak has 100mL t of a strong toothpaste with a 1.1% concentration of sodium fluoride. They have a weaker toothpaste with a 0.3% concentration of sodium fluoride.
What volume, in milliliters, of the weaker toothpaste would Ujarak need to add to the strong toothpaste to create a blend with a 0.8% concentration of sodium fluoride?

The volume of the 0.3% concentration of sodium fluoride required to mix with 100mL of a strong toothpaste with a 1.1% concentration of sodium fluoride to create a blend with a 0.8% concentration of sodium fluoride is 60 mL.

What are mixtures?

Mixtures refers to substances which are composed of two or more substances physically combined together.

The 1.1% concentration of sodium fluoride will form a mixture with the 0.3% concentration sodium fluoride.

Let the volume of the 0.3 % concentration toothpaste required be x.

Final volume of toothpaste = (100 + x) mL

Amount of mixture = 0.8 * (100 + x)

100 ml * 1.1 + x * 0.3 = 0.8 * (100 + x)

solving for x

110 + 0.3x = 80 + 0.8x

110 - 80 = 0.8x - 0.3x

30 = 0.5x

x = 60

Therefore, 60 mL of the 0.3% concentration of sodium fluoride is required.

In conclusion, the volume of the weaker solution of the sodium fluoride solution required is obtained from the method of mixtures.
