Solution
The correct option is D 3.26 M 30% (w/w) means 30 g of H2O2 is present in 100 g of the solution. Mass of solvent = 100 g - 30 g = 70 g Number of moles of H2O2=30gmolarmassofH2O2=30g34g/mol=3034mol Volume of initial solution(V1) = massofsolutiondensityofsolution=100g1.11g/ml≃90ml=0.09L Molarityofinitialsolution(M1)=numberofmolesofH2O2volumeofsolutioninL =300.09×34=9.8M
Now, since the number of moles of H2O2 remain same, before and after the dilution. ∴M1V1=M2V2, where M2 and V2 are final molarity and volume, after dilution, respectively. →M2=9.8×903×90≃3.26M
