Ex. 21. A bottle of commercial sulphuric acid (density 1787 g/mL) is labelled as
86% by weight. What is the molarity of the acid? What volume of the acid has
to be used to make 1 litre of 02 M H2SO4?

Solution : B 100 g of H2SO4 solution contains 86 g of H2SO4.

Ex. 22. How many millilitres of concentrated sulphuric acid of sp. gr. 184 containing
98% H2SO4 by weight are required to prepare 200 mL of 050 N solution?

Solution : 98% of H2SO4 by weight means 100 g H2SO4 solution contains 98 g

of H2SO4 .
