Find the volume of water (in mL) added to 50 mL concentrated nitric acid HNO3 (d=1.52gml–1, 69% by mass) that forms diluted nitric acid (d=1.15gmL–1, 19% by mass HNO3).

Solution
Let volume of dilute solution that can be formed is V. Mass of HNO3 will be same before and after dilution So, V×1.15×0.19=50×1.52×0.69 ⟹V=240 mL Volume of water added = 240 - 50 = 190 mL.
