Question

How many L of 3.0 M H2SO4 solution can be prepared by using 100.0 mL OF 18 M H2SO4?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.6 L

Explanation:

As this problem deals with a dilution process, we can solve it by using the following formula:

• C₁V₁=C₂V₂

Where subscript 1 stands for the initial concentration and volume, while 2 stands for the diluted solution's. That means that in this case:

• C₁ = 18 M

• V₁ = 100 mL

• C₂ = 3.0 M

• V₂ = ?

We input the data:

• 18 M * 100 mL = 3.0 M * V₂

And solve for V₂:

• V₂ = 600 mL

Finally we convert 600 mL to L:

• 600 mL / 1000 = 0.6 L
