Q.
What is the molarity and molality of a 13% solution (by weight) of sulphuric acid with a density of 1.02g/mL ? To what volume should 100mL of this solution be diluted in order to prepare a 1.5N solution ?
Let us consider 1.0L of solution.
Weight of solution =1000×1.02=1020g
Weight of H2SO4=1020×10013=132.60g
Weight of H2O=1020−132.60=887.40g ⇒ Molarity =98132.60=1.353M
Molarity =98132.60×887.401000=1.525m
Normality =2×M=2.706 ⇒2.706×100=1.5V ⇒V=180.40mL
