2. Supplemental Chemicals
3. Cavity Chemicals
4. Accessory Chemicals

Question 2

What goes into a tank?

Arterial Chemicals, Supplemental Chemicals, Water.

Question 3

One Bottle. Tank = 128oz. Bottle = 16oz, 24 index. Formula for concentration of tank?

Answer 3

C1 x V1 = C2 x V2

24 x 16 = ?? x 128
384/128 = ?? x 128/128
3 = ?? x 1

Question 4

Two Bottles. Tank: 128oz. Bottle 1: 24 index, 6oz. Bottle 2: 18.5 index, 10oz. Formula for concentration of tank?

Answer 4

(C1 x V1) + (C1 x V1) = C2 x V2

(24 x 6) + (18.5 x 10) = C2 x 128
144 + 185 = C2 x 128
329 / 128 = C2
C2 = 2.57%

Question 5

Three bottles. Tank: 256oz. Bottle 1: 24 index, 16oz. Bottle 2: 18.5 index, 8oz. Bottle 3: 30 index, 6oz. Formula for concentration of tank?

Answer 5

(C1 x V1) + (C1 x V1) + (C1 x V1) = C2 x V2

(24 x 16) + (18.5 x 8) + (30 x 6) = C2 x 256
384 + 148 + 180 = C2 x 256
788 / 256 = C2
C2 = 2.78%
