to what volume should you dilute 30 mL of a 11M H2SO4 solution to obtain a 0.17 M H2SO4 solution?

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we can use the formula:

M1V1 = M2V2

Where:
M1 = initial concentration of the solution
V1 = initial volume of the solution
M2 = final concentration of the solution
V2 = final volume of the solution

Plugging in the given values:
M1 = 11 M
V1 = 30 mL (0.03 L)
M2 = 0.17 M
V2 = ?

11 * 0.03 = 0.17 * V2

0.33 = 0.17 * V2

V2 = 0.33 / 0.17
V2 = 1.94 L

Therefore, you should dilute 30 mL of a 11M H2SO4 solution to a final volume of 1.94 L to obtain a 0.17 M H2SO4 solution.
