Here's the scenario:
Two glasses are each filled half-way with soda-one with cola, the other with lemon-lime. A small amount of the lemon-lime is removed from the glass and put into the cola glass. The glass is stirred thoroughly so that the lemon-lime is completely mixed into the cola. Then the same amount of the mixture is removed from the cola glass and put back into the glass with lemon-lime.
Here's the question:
After the soda has been exchanged, is there more cola in the lemon-lime glass or more lemon-lime in the cola glass?
Here's my answer:
I think there is more lemon-lime in the cola. I came to this conclusion by visualizing two glasses filled with the two liquids. Only lemon-lime was added to the cola. A lemon-lime and cola mixture was added to the lemon-lime, therefore there is more lemon-lime in the cola. It is impossible to measure the amount of each substance in the lemon-lime/cola mixture.
Have a fantastic day! :)
