    10 liters.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the volume of 2% acid be x liters.

    Then the volume of the 8% solution will be (x + 30) liters.

    Work in amounts of pure acid: amount of acid in the 10% solution = 30 * 0.1

    = 3. So we have the equation:

    0.02x + 3 = 0.08 (x + 30)

    0.08x - 0.02x = 3 - 0.08*30

    0.06x = 0.6

    x = 10

    So the answer is 10 liter of the 2% solution.
