What volume of distilled water should be added to 400cm3 ...

What volume of distilled water should be added to 400cm3 of 2.0 mole dm-3 H2SO4 to obtain 0.20 mole dm-3 of solution>

A.

600cm-3

B.

800cm-3

C.

1,000cm-3

D.

3,600cm-3

E.

4,000cm-3

Correct answer is D

400cm32moldm3

0.4dm32moldm3

Multiplying in order to get the moles of the acid.

0.4dm3×2moldm3=0.8moles

After diluting to 0.2moldm3, the new volume will be

0.80.2=4dm3

Converting back to cm^3,

We have 4×1000cm3=4000cm3

Hence, the volume of water added = (4000400)cm3=3600cm3
