Question

The density was of a solution of sulfuric acid is 1.285g/cm3 and it is 38.08% (by weight) acid. How many millimeters of the acid solution do you need to supply 125 grams of sulfuric acid?

Answer 1

255.5cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

A solution that is 38.08 % by weight has 38.08g of sulfuric acid per 100g of total solution. Thus, mass of solution you need to obtain 125g is:

125g H₂SO₄ × (100g solution / 38.08g H₂SO₄) = 328.3g of solution

As density of the solution is 1.285g / cm³, the volume of 328.3g is:

328.3g × (1cm³ / 1.285g) = 255.5cm³
