Question: ( 2 5 pts ) Suppose you prepare a solution that is 3 0 . 0 w t % H 2 S O 4 in

(25 pts) Suppose you prepare a solution that is 30.0wt%H2SO4 in water and intend to confirm the concentration by comparing the specific gravity of the solution to a value obtained from the literature. You carefully add 30.0g of H2SO4 to 70.0g of water (you know that rapidly adding acid to water or water to concentrated acid can lead to dangerous splatters of liquid) and allow the resulting mixture to equilibrate at 20C.
(a) Estimate the volumes of water and sulfuric acid that have been blended, and then estimate the density of the 30.0wt% sulfuric acid solution, assuming the volumes are additive. SG of Sulfuric Acid =1.834;,SG of H2O=1.0;H2O=1.0gml
(b) Perry'sChemicalEngineers'Handbook (p.2-112) gives the specific gravity of sulfuric acid as a function of both acid concentration and temperature. The value for 30.0wt% sulfuric acid at 20C is given as 1.2185. Estimate the volume of the 30.0wt% solution prepared as described by the above process.
(c)(bonus 10pts What volume of 40.0wt% sulfuric acid at )=(1.2991 must be added to 100.0g of the 30.0-wt% solution to produce a solution that is 35.0wt% sulfuric acid?
