Hi,
I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right category. I don't know enough about maths to tell what kind of a problem I have. I'll do my best to describe the problem in a way that will be easy to understand but I'm pretty new at this so please forgive me if I accidentally make it unnecessarily complicated.
The Problem:
I want to make a flux remover recipe but the only information I have is the % of each liquid ingredient by weight. Since the liquid ingredients are different, they have different densities so I can't just apply the % to volume as it will give an incorrect mixture. I would like to be able to calculate the exact volume of each ingredient that I would need in order to make up a specific volume of the end mixture. If I say 1L of the solvent mixture for the example, that would be OK.
The information I have is:
I know that 1cc = 1mL.
Does that make sense? Also, I don't actually need to know the answer to this question. I made a batch based on the weight when I gave up trying to calculate what the volume should be but I still want to know the answer and how to figure it out.
Thanks for your attention
Alex

Chemical Name | %(weight) | Density | 1L Bottle Flux Remover (mL) |
Ethyl acetate | 63% | 0.902 g/cm^3 | |
Acetone | 25% | 0.7845 g/cm^3 | |
IPA | 12% | 0.786 g/cm^3 | |
