If a material mixes readily with water it is describe as HYDROPHILIC. Hydrophilic substances are water loving molecules, there reaction with water is favorable in term of thermodynamics. This type of substance are usually charged and often have ability to get involve in hydrogen bonding.
Given that acids burns and the reactions of some metals with acids are violent, you have to protect agains spills and splashes that can seriously harm you: your eyes, your hands, your arms, your feet, even your clothe.
So you shall use:
- Safety glasses (googles)
- Chemical gloves
- Lab coat
- Closed shoes
There are several information's already given in the question. Based on the information's the answer can be easily deduced.
We know the formula
<span>P1*V1/T1 = P2*V2/T2
</span>
As the temperature is constant, so T1 and T2 can be negated. The formula changes to
<span>P1*V1 = P2*V2
</span>70 * 1 = 540 * V2
270/540 = V2
<span>V2 = 0.5
</span>
From the above deduction, we can conclude that the new volume is 0.5 liters. I hope that the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
