Hello Student,
Please find the answer to your question
Molarity = Moles of solute/Volume of solution in L
= Mass of solute/M. wt. of solute/Mass of solution/density of solution * 1000
M = 86/98/100/1.787 * 1000 = 0.8775/55.5 * 1000 = 15.81 M
M1V1 = M2V2
M1 = 15.81, V1 =?
M2 = 0.2, V2 = 1 L = 1000 ml
∴ 15.81 * V1 = 0.2 * 1000
Or V1 = 0.2 *1000/15.81 = 12.65 ml
∴ Amount of acid to be used to make 1 L of 0.2 M H2SO4 – 12.65.
