Chapter 16, Problem 87E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of the $\text{18}\text{M}$ ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}$ used for preparation of $\text{3}\text{.0}\text{L}$ of $\text{2}\text{.9}\text{N}$ ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of solution. This can be expressed by the relation given below.

$\text{M}=\frac{\text{n}}{\text{V}\left(\text{in L}\right)}$

On dilution, the molarity and the volume of the final solution are calculated by the relation given below.

${\text{M}}_{\text{c}}{\text{V}}_{\text{c}}={\text{M}}_{\text{d}}{\text{V}}_{\text{d}}$
