Question

Please help me with this question, if you can! :)

Your teacher has 4.0 L of a 15% (v/v) solution of sulfuric acid in water. What will the volume of the solution be if it is diluted to 10% (v/v)?

Answer 1

Answer: The volume of the solution be if it is diluted to 10% (v/v) is 6.0 L

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the dilution law,

`C_1V_1=C_2V_2`

where,

`C_1` = concentration of pure acid solution = 15 %

`V_1` = volume of pure acid solution = 4.0 L

`C_2` = concentration of diluted acid solution= 10%

`V_2` = volume of diluted acid solution= ?

Putting in the values we get:

`15* 4.0=10* V_2`

`V_2=6.0L`

Thus the volume of the solution be if it is diluted to 10% (v/v) is 6.0 L
