The total volume of two solutions with a molar concentration ratio of 4:3 is 28 liters. If the ratio of the amounts of solute in both solutions is 4:3, respectively, determine the volume of the solution with the lower concentration.

📝 Detailed explanation
Molar concentration C = n / V, so V = n / C.Ratio V₁/V₂ = (n₁ / C₁) / (n₂ / C₂)
V₁/V₂ = (4 / 4) / (3 / 3) = 1 / 1.
Since the ratio is 1:1, both solutions have the same volume.
28 / 2 = 14 liters.
