Solution
The correct option is B 186 Molarity of solution containing 92.5%H2SO4 may be calculated as:
Molarity (M1) = volume of H2SO4×Density×100098×100
= 92.5×1.8×100098×100
= 16.99M
Molarity of solution containing 40, M2=40×1.3×100098×100
= 5.31M
Molarity of required solution containing 50%H2SO4: M=50×1.4×100098×100
= 7.14M
Let V litre of a solution with molarity (M1) is added to 1 litre of solution with molarity (M2)
To prepare (1+V) litre of solution with molarity M, then: M1×V1+M2×V2 = M×V 16.99×V+5.31×1 = 7.14×(1+V)
= 9.85V=1.83
= V=1.839.85 = 0.186L
