Concentrated aqueous sulphuric acid is 98% H2SO4 by mass and has a density of 1.80 g mL-1. Volume of acid required to make one litre of 0.1 M H2SO4 solution is
- 16.65 mL
- 22.20 mL
- 5.55 mL
- 11.10 mL
Answer
(3) 5.55 mL
Solution
Molarity of concentrated acid:
M = \% by mass density 10molar mass
= 98 1.80 1098 = 18 M
Dilution: M1V1 = M2V2
⇒ 18 V1 = 0.1 1000
⇒ V1 = 10018 = 5.55 mL
Answer: (3)
