Molarity Question based on H2SO4

Question

How many millilitres of concentrated H2SO4 (16.0 M) is required to prepare 250 mL of 6.00 M H2SO4 solution?

Answer 1

For this simple dilution problem, you can use V1M1 = V2M2

V1 = initial volume = ?

M1 = initial molarity = 16.0 M

V2 = final volume = 250 ml

M2 = final concentration = 6.0 M

(V1)(16.0 M) = (250 ml)(6.0 M)

V1 = 93.75 ml = 93.8 ml of 16 M H2SO4 is required.
