<em>safety precautions to be taken when performing diluting concentrated sulphuric acid with water</em>
- Using gloves while diluting to avoid injury from hot sulfuric acid to hands.
- Wearing safety glasses to protect eyes
- Must wear lab coat before performing any chemistry practical
- Safety boots to protect your legs.

P₁ = 0.90 atm
V₁ = 50.0 mL
T₁ = 298 K
P₂ = 1 atm
T₂ = 273 K
V₂ = P₁ x V₁ x T₂ / T₁ x P₂
V₂ = 0.90 x 50.0 x 273 / 298 x 1
V₂ = 12285 / 298
V₂ = 41 mL
