Alligation Medial • Used to calculate the “Average Percentage Strength” of mixture of two or more substances whose quantities and concentrations are known.
What is the percentage of alcohol in a lotion containing 1500ml. of witch hazel (14% alcohol), 2000ml. of glycerin, and 5000 ml. of 50% alcohol?
Alligation Alternate • Used to calculate the number of parts of two or more components of a given strength when that should be used to prepare a mixture of desired strength. Percent desired Percent given Parts required
Number of parts of minus gives gives minus Number of parts of a y c b x
Number of parts of minus gives gives minus Number of parts of Example • In what proportion should alcohols of 95% and 50% strengths be mixed to make 270 ml 70% alcohol? 95 20 70 50 25

There are 5 types of problems • Mixing of two different concentrations to produce a third intermediate one (as the previous example) • Dilution: mixing of a solution with concentration x% with the free base where a=x% and b=0% • Concentration: mixing of a solution with concentration x% with the active ingredient where a=x% and b=100% • Mixing of 3 different concentrations. • Mixing of 4 different concentrations.
