Concentrated sulfuric acid, H₂SO₄, is 18.0 M. How many milliliters of concentrated sulfuric acid are required to prepare 500 mL of 3.60 M H₂SO₄?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the volume of concentrated acid needed, use the dilution equation M1V1 = M2V2. Here, M1 = 18.0 M, M2 = 3.60 M, and V2 = 500 mL. Solving for V1 gives V1 = (3.60 M * 500 mL) / 18.0 M = 100 mL.
