Question

A pupil adds 5 cm of 12 mol.dm sulphuric acids to make a 250 cmº solution. Calculate the

concentration of the diluted acid.

Answer 1

0.500 mol/dm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula below;

CaVa = CbVb

Where;

Ca = concentration of acid (mol/dm³)

Cb = concentration of base (mol/dm³)

Va = volume of acid (cm³)

Vb = volume of base (cm³)

In accordance to the information provided in this question is;

Va = 5cm³

Vb = 250 cm³

Ca = 12 mol/dm³

Cb = ?

Using CaVa = CbVb

12 × 5 = Cb × 250

60 = 120Cb

Cb = 60/120

Cb = 0.500 mol/dm³
