Is that 14.2 pounds pure acid, or 85% acid.







ps: who are you, and how did you get a personalised icon?

I can't vouch for the validity of this answer, but here goes.



Acid 14.2 pounds per gallon.

Water 8.337 pounds per gallon



You need 75% acid, one gallon of which has 0.75 gallons acid (10.65 lbs) and 0.25 gallons water (2.08 lbs). One gallon of your existing 85% acid contains 0.85 gallons (12.07 lbs) acid.



We need to end up with the same ratio as the 75% acid, so:



12.07/x = 10.65/2.08

x = 2.36 lbs water.



1 gallon of 85% acid already has 0.15 gallons (1.25 lbs) of water, but to make it 75% acid, we need 2.36 lbs of water.



2.36 - 1.25 = 1.11



So for every gallon of 85% acid you have, add 1.11 lbs of water.

Gabes math is sound (and put more succintly than I could), but I still think you'll find the spreadsheet helpful. It allows you to choose your desired concentration of starting or ending solution, and work by either weight or volume.



See? Who says Gabbers are unhelpful.

Gabe, Demo,



I think between the two of you I can make the result I'm looking for.



Basically, using your logic, I can whip something together.



The final result would be:



X gallons of water

X gallons of acid (85%)

based on desired weight of 75% acid.



IE: Input "45,000" lbs would net somewhere around 650 gallons of water and 2800 gallions of acid.

Just remember to add acid to water and not vice versa. I never took that warning seriously until I got into an advanced course and they started using 20 mol/L Shakespeare that will melt away tile flooring, wood, rubber, polyester/cotton shirts, and your nipples. I know this from experience.

Since I've been gone, I've:



* lost my job in computers.

* lost my car.

* lost my house.

* filed/completed bankruptcy.

* taken a mediocre blue-collar job.



Did you keep your wife? I can't remember if you were even married; it's been so long. My mind thinks you engaged way back when.
