The key to any dilution calculation is the dilution factor

The dilution factor essentially tells you how concentrated the stock solution was compared with the diluted solution.

In your case, the dilution must take you from a concentrated hydrochloric acid solution of 18.5 M to a diluted solution of 1.5 M, so the dilution factor must be equal to

DF=18.5M1.5M=12.333

So, in order to decrease the concentration of the stock solution by a factor of 12.333, you must increase its volume by a factor of 12.333by adding water.

The volume of the stock solution needed for this dilution will be

DF=VdilutedVstock⇒Vstock=VdilutedDF

Plug in your values to find

Vstock=25.0 L12.333=2.0 L−−−−−

The answer is rounded to two sig figs, the number of significant figures you have for the concentration od the diluted solution.

So, to make 25.0 L of 1.5 M hydrochloric acid solution, take 2.0 L of 18.5 M hydrochloric acid solution and dilute it to a final volume of 25.0 L.

IMPORTANT NOTE! Do not forget that you must always add concentrated acid to water and not the other way around!

In this case, you're working with very concentrated hydrochloric acid, so it would be best to keep the stock solution and the water needed for the dilution in an ice bath before the dilution.

Also, it would be best to perform the dilution in several steps using smaller doses of stock solution. Don't forget to stir as you're adding the acid!

So, to dilute your solution, take several steps to add the concentrated acid solution to enough water to ensure that the final is as close to 25.0 L as possible. If you're still a couple of milliliters short of the target volume, finish the dilution by adding water.

Always remember

Water to concentrated acid →.NO!

Concentrated acid to water →.YES!

A freezer compartment is covered with a 2-mm-thick layer of frost at the time it malfunctions. If the compartment is in ambient
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The time required to melt the frost is 3.25 hours.

Explanation:

The time required to melt the frost dependes on the latent heat of the frost and the amount of heat it is transfered by convection to the air .

The heat transferred per unit area can be expressed as:

q=h_c*A*\Delta T\\\\q/A=h_c*\Delta T

being hc the convective heat transfer coefficient (2 Wm^-2K^-1) and ΔT the difference of temperature (20-0=20 °C or K).

q/A=h_c*\Delta T=2\frac{W}{m^2K}*20K=40\frac{W}{m^2}

If we take 1 m^2 of ice, with 2 mm of thickness, we have this volume

V=T*A = 0.002 m * 1 m^2=0.002m^3

The mass of the frost can be estimated as

M=\rho * V=700\frac{kg}{m^3}*0.002m^3= 1.4 kg

Then,  the amount of heat needed to melt this surface (1 m²) of frost is

Q=L*M=334\frac{kJ}{kg}*1.4kg= 467.6kJ

The time needed to melt the frost can be calculated as

t=\frac{Q}{(q/A)}=\frac{467.6kJ/m2}{40W/m2} = 11.69\frac{kJ}{W}*\frac{1W*s}{1J}*\frac{1000J}{1kJ}=   11690s=3.25h
