Chapter 1, Problem 1.63P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Mass of sulfuric acid solution in kilograms has to be calculated and also the pounds in $\text{2}\text{.20}\text{L}$ bottle of sulfuric acid has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Density of a substance is defined as the mass per unit volume.  This can be expressed in terms of equation as shown below.

    $d=\frac{m}{V}$

From the above equation, mass can also be calculated by rearranging, provided the volume and density is known.

Conversion factors:

Conversion of one unit into another unit is done by the use of unit conversion factor.  This involves multiplying or dividing by the power of 10.  For example, if centimeter has to be converted into meter, then the given value in centimeter has to be multiplied by the conversion factor as shown below.

    $1=\frac{1\text{m}}{100\text{cm}}$
