Mixture Problems

This math video tutorial explains how to solve mixture problems that can be found in a typical algebra or a chemistry course. This video contains plenty of examples and practice problems including a formula that can be used to solve mixture problems. It contains shortcuts with solutions and answers. This video contains problems that asks you to find the concentration of the mixture of an alcohol solution or acid solution in the form of a percentage given the concentrations and volumes of the other two solution. You can solve it as a weighted average problem.

there's a special place in heaven saved for organic chemistry tutor :)

[ayshaaysha]

I'm studying for the SAT and each time I face a problem I come and see your videos . You approximately solved every type of question that I need to survive SAT .
Thank you so much

That formula saved my life! Nowhere does my book mention it, and I've been scratching my head for a few hours now trying to figure out what was happening. Thank you so much!

Professor Organic Chemistry Tutor, thank you for a solid introduction to Mixture Problems in AP/ General Chemistry. Everything in life uses some form of Chemistry. Mixtures problems are common in all levels of Chemistry. The equation that's given in this video is a good starting point when solving mixture problems. This is an error free video/lecture on YouTube TV with the Organic Chemistry Tutor.

Mixture problems always freaked me out until now :)

Im in an Hvac class at my community college but have to take an applied math class. I have been struggling with this all week and you just made my life 100% easier god bless you so much.

i have a finals exam on this tomorrow. pray for my soul

[yokomii]

This saved me 3 hours of math homework

Is no one talking about how on point and crisp his mic is?

6:37 problem 2. What is the concentration of the mixture? The mixture is 200 L (50 from the 15% alcohol solution and 150 from the 35% alcohol solution). let y = percentage of alcohol concentration of the mixture, then y 200 L = the total amount of alcohol in the mixture.
The first solution has 7.5 L of alcohol (50 x 15%) and the second solution has 52.5 L (15% x 150) and this equal to total alcohol in the mixture of y 200 L. solving for y will give the concentration of alcohol of the mixture, so 7.5 + 52.5 = y 200 or 60=y 200 or y = 6/20 or 3/10, 3/10 is the same as 30/100 or 30%. Therefore the mixture has a 30% alcohol solution. Ans 30% 10:03 alcohol solution or 60 L of alcohol is in it.

Bro explains this better than my college professor 😭 I love you

[JaimeResendizDelgado]

Thank you. You have made mathematics become so much easier for me. You make math more understandable and enjoyable.

[owenbramlage]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Im pretty sure I failed my algebra quiz and the teacher is giving the whole class a retake tomorrow

[texxwave]

Amazing video, i used to be really scared of mixture problems, you explained it amazingly, they never mention this formula in my book, nonetheless, worked 10outta10 times. thanks a lot!

[soapycoco]

thank you so much!!! i was literally about to cry cuz i didn't understand my math and i'm scared of my teacher cause he always wants to check how i'm doing in my math class, but now i know what's going on and i'm reliefed. thank you again, and have a great day

[jbjosephs]

Thanks for posting this kind of tutorial. I salute you! Hoping to see more math videos. 👏😍

[saelina]

u r fantastic! Hope u know that u r appreciated by many who can recognize the value of ur videos!

When you single handedly save generations' educations with free videos.

This works for 10:53 as well. 60L is 3* bigger than 20L. Adding 60L of water to a 20L 28% concentration can be represented as
(0*3+28)/4
=
7% concentration

Thank you!! I took organic chemistry 20 years ago and was trying to calculate mixing solutions of 3% and 10% to get a 6% 3.5 ML solution, I need 2 ml of 3% and 1.5 ml of 10% to get my goal 6%. Thanks again :)
