SaveA laboratory technician has made up a stock mixture of two chemicals, X and Y, ready for use by all of the groups in Year 9 at a High School. He has mixed 6.0 kg which is ¼ of X and ¾ of Y. He realises that he has used the wrong mix and, rather than waste the chemicals he has used so far, he is going to add some more of chemical X so that the mix consists of 40% of X and 60% of Y.
What mass of chemical X must he add?
