Set up a formula (in grams) for 5 pound (avoir.) glycerogelatin containing 10 parts by weight of zinc oxide, 15 parts by weight of gelatin, 40 parts by weight of glycerine, and 35 parts by weight of water.
The weight of glycerogelatin = 5 pound
1 pound = 453.5 gm
5 pound = 5 x 453.5 = 2267.9 gm
Let take the part by weight of glycerogelatin be x , then
10 parts by weight of zinc oxide = 10x
15 parts by weight of gelatin = 15x
40 parts by weight of glycerine = 40x
35 parts by weight of water = 35x
The sum of total parts by weight = 2267.9gm
S0, 10x + 15x + 40x + 35x = 2267.9
100x = 2267.9
x = 22.6
S0, 10 part by weight of zinc oxide = 10 x 22.6 = 226 gm
15 part by weight of gelatin = 15 x 22.6 = 339 gm
40 part by weight of glycerine = 40 x 22.6 = 904 gm
35 part by weight of water = 35 x 22.6 = 791 gm
