Chapter 15, Problem 15.119QE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mass of benzoic acid that must be dissolved to make $1.0\text{ L}$ of a solution with $\text{pH}$ of 3.50 has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The dilution formula is given as follows:

  $M_1{V}_1=M_2{V}_2$        (1)

Here,

$M_1$ denotes the molarity of the solution before dilution.

$V_1$ denotes the volume of the solution before dilution.

$M_2$ denotes the molarity of solution after dilution.

$V_2$ denotes the volume of the solution after dilution.
