How much water is needed to dilute 1 liter of 90% isopropyl alcohol to make a 70% alcohol solution?
A. 2.86 mL
B. 28.6 mL
C. 286 mL
D. 2860 mL

Respuesta :

I think A - 2.86 mL

286 ml  water is needed to dilute 1 liter of 90% isopropyl alcohol to make a 70% alcohol solution.

So, option C is correct one.

Calculation,

1 L = 1000 ml water contain 90% isopropyl alcohol

So, X ml of water required to make a 70% alcohol solution = ?

Formula used: [tex]M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2} V_{2}[/tex]

0.9 ×1000 = 0.7 × X

X = 0.9 ×1000/0.7 = 1285.71 ml

1285.71 ml - 1000 ml = 285.71 ml ≈ 286 ml

Thus, you would add 285.71 ml of water to 1000 ml or 1 L of 90% isopropyl alcohol to make a 70% alcohol solution.

What is dilute solution?

The solution is amount of solute with less concentration or  is low as compare to solvent is called dilute solution.

Comparison of dilute solution and concentrated solution.

  • In dilute solution ,the concentration of solute is low whereas in concentrated solution ,the concentration of solute is high.
  • By adding more solute in the dilute solution, it become concentrated solution whereas by adding more solvent in the concentrated solution, it become dilute solution
  • Example of dilute solution is 5% sulfuric acid  and example of concentrated solution is 95 % of sulfuric acid
