Chapter 16, Problem 15PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The new concentration of chlorous acid when $\text{10}\text{.0}\text{mL}$ of $\text{1}\text{.15}\text{M}$ chlorous acid is added to $\text{1}\text{.00}\text{L}$ of water is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Some acids or bases are available in concentrated solutions that are diluted to a lower concentration for use. To dilute a solution, more solvent is added. Although, the number of moles of solute remains the same, but it is distributed over a large volume.
