Calculate the mass of a 10% sulfuric acid solution to be added to 200 g of a 60%
Calculate the mass of a 10% sulfuric acid solution to be added to 200 g of a 60% sulfuric acid solution to obtain a 20% sulfuric acid solution.
Data: ω (Н2SO4) 1 – mass fraction of acid in the added solution (ω (Н2SO4) 1 = 10% = 0.1); mр2 is the mass of the initial solution (mр2 = 200 g); ω (H2SO4) 2 – mass fraction of acid in the initial solution (ω (H2SO4) 2 = 60% = 0.6); ωН2SO4 – required mass fraction of acid (ωН2SO4 = 20% = 0.2).
1) The mass of acid in the original solution: m (H2SO4) 2 = ω (H2SO4) 2 * mр2 = 0.6 * 200 = 120 g.
2) The mass of acid in the final solution: mH2SO4 = m (H2SO4) 1 + m (H2SO4) 2 = 0.1mp1 + 120.
3) The mass of the final solution: mр = mр1 + mр2 = mр1 + 200.
4) Mass fraction of acid in the final solution: ωН2SO4 = mН2SO4 / mр = (0.1mр1 + 120) / (mр1 + 200) = 0.2.
5) Weight of the added solution:
0.2 * (mp1 + 200) = 0.1mp1 + 120.
0.2mр1 + 40 = 0.1mр1 + 120.
0.2mp1 – 0.1mp1 = 120 – 40.
0.1mр1 = 80.
mр1 = 80 / 0.1 = 800 g.
Answer: It is necessary to add 800 g of 10% sulfuric acid solution.
