A chemist has three different acid solutions. The first acid solution contains 20% acid, the second contains 40% and the third contains 85%. They want to use all three solutions to obtain a mixture of 140 liters containing 35% acid, using 2 times as much of the 85% solution as the 40% solution. How many liters of each solution should be used? The chemist should use liters of 20% solution, liters of 40% solution, and liters of 85% solution.

There are a flask, and burette containing an acid, and a base, respectively The first, a flask contains a solution of 10 mL of an unknown acid and 0.15 mL of PhenolphthaleinThe second, a burette containing 52 mL of 10.0 M NaOH. The flask now contains a total of 10.15mL solution of an unknown acid, and 0.01 mL of NaOH is dropped by a burette.The flask turned from colorless to pink when the solution is 12.210 after receiving drops from the burette which means a total of 2.06mL of NaOH is needed to turn the inknown acid into pink. What is the concentration of the acid (Please use three significant figures for your answer in M)
