Determine the volume of diluted nitric acid d= 1.11g/ml, 19% hn03. That can be prepared by diluting with water 50ml of conc. hn03 d=1.42g/ml, 69.8%

Question

The answer 183.68ml

who help step by step

Answer 1

19% is .2722 as concentrated as 69.8%, the volume has increased by a factor of 1/.2722 = 3.6737

So, 183.68ml of 19% acid can be made.

Answer 2

Determine this volume of diluted nitric acid d = 1.11g/ml, 19% hn03. That can be prepared by diluting with water 50ml of conc hn03 d=1.42g/ml, 69.8%

I do not still understand how to get 19% is .2722 ,

the right answer is 183.68ml

Answer 3

19/69.8 = .2722

19% is not .2722
19% is .2722 of 69.8%

Think about it. If you double the volume, the concentration is halved.

Or, if you cut the concentration by a factor of 3, that means the volume has tripled.

Here, you have cut the concentration by a factor of 3.6737, so that means the volume has grown by that factor.
