Question

You have 0.2 liter of an acid solution whose acid concentration is 16 moles per liter. You want to dilute the solution with water so that its acid concentration is only 12 moles per liter. Use the given model todetermine howmany liters of water you should add to the solution.

Answer 1

Answer: normally 0. 067 but if you are using big ideas you'd round it so it would become

0. 07

Step-by-step explanation:

12 = 16 (0.2) / (0.2 + w)

(0.2 + w) * 12 = 3.2

0.2 + w = 3.2 / 12

w = (3.2 / 12) - 0.2

Answer 2

Answer: 0.067 litres of water

Step-by-step explanation:

The mode is:

Concentration of new solution = Moles of acid in original solution / (Volume of original solution + Volume of water added)

Assume volume of water added is w.

12 = 16 (0.2) / (0.2 + w)

(0.2 + w) * 12 = 3.2

0.2 + w = 3.2 / 12

w = (3.2 / 12) - 0.2

w = 0.067 litres of water
