What masses of water and sulfuric acid solution with a mass fraction of 96% should be taken to prepare
What masses of water and sulfuric acid solution with a mass fraction of 96% should be taken to prepare 250 g of a solution with a mass fraction of 10% acid?
W (H2SO4) = 96%.
m solution = 250 g.
W solution = 10%.
Let’s determine the mass of water and sulfuric acid. We write down the solution.
First, we determine the mass of the solute, that is, the mass of sulfuric acid, which was dissolved in water.
m (H2SO4) = 250 * 10% / 100% = 25 g.
For the resulting solution, 25 g of 96% sulfuric acid were taken.
We find how much water we took.
m = 25 * 100/96 = 26 g.
We find the mass of water, subtract the mass of sulfuric acid solution from the total mass of the solution.
m = 250 – 26 = 224 g.
This means that 224 g of water was added to the 96 percent middle.
Answer: m (H2O) = 224 g; m (H2SO4) = 26 g.
