Question

If 1 litre of 2.2m sulphuric acid is poured into a bucket containing 10 litres of water and the resulting solution is mixed thoroughly the resulting sulfuric acid concentration will be

Answer 1

To calculate the resulting sulfuric acid concentration, you need to use the formula:

Concentration1 x Volume1 + Concentration2 x Volume2 = Concentration3 x Volume3

where:

Concentration1 and Volume1 are the concentration and volume of the sulfuric acid poured into the bucket (1 liter of 2.2 M)
Concentration2 and Volume2 are the concentration and volume of the water in the bucket (10 liters of pure water)
Concentration3 and Volume3 are the concentration and volume of the resulting solution
Plugging in the values:

2.2 M x 1 L + 0 M x 10 L = Concentration3 x 11 L

Solving for Concentration3:

Concentration3 = (2.2 M x 1 L) / 11 L

Concentration3 = 0.2 M

Therefore, the resulting sulfuric acid concentration will be 0.2 M.
