In Department 2, water is added (at no cost) at the beginning of the process and phosphoric UNITS acid is added at the end of the process.

For every gallon (unit) of syrup that is transferred into Department 2, two gallons of water and one gallon of phosphoric acid are required to produce the finished beverage. No gallons are lost through evaporation.
