Chapter 16, Problem 107E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The maximum diameter of the hole that results from the drop of $\text{HCl}$ dissolving aluminum is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction: Density of solution $\left(d\right)$ is directly proportional to mass $\left(m\right)$ and inversely proportional to volume $\left(V\right)$ as:

$d=\frac{m}{V}$

The volume of the cylinder can be expressed in terms of radius $\left(r\right)$ as:

$V=\pi r^{2}h$

Here, $h$ is the height of the cylinder.

The expression of radius in terms of diameter is:

$\text{diameter}=2r$
