Respuesta :

Answer:

The total quantity of the acid in the solution is 72.2 milliliters.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the solution contains acid and wat.

In the solution 18.6% is acid and remaining is wat.

The total quantity of the solution is 388 milliliters. So, the total quantity of the acid in the solution is 18.6% of 388.

[tex]388\times \frac{18.6}{100}=72.168\approx 72.2[/tex]

Therefore the total quantity of the acid in the solution is 72.2 milliliters.
