Devan Andrews · Answer 1

The answer to your question is 3% H2SO4 solution

Explanation:

Data

Concentration 2 = C₂ = ?

Concentration 1 = C₁ = 15 %

Volume 1 = V₁ = 50 ml

Volume 2 = V₂ = 250 ml

Formula

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

Solve for C₂

C₂ = C₁V₁ / V₂

Substitution

C₂ = (15) (50) / 250

Simplification and result

C₂ = 3 %
