What volume of distilled water should be added to 400cm3 of 2.0 mole dm-3 \(H_{2}SO_{4}\) to obtain 0.20 mole dm-3 of solution>

A.

600cm-3

B.

800cm-3

C.

1,000cm-3

D.

3,600cm-3

E.

4,000cm-3

Correct answer is D

\(400cm^{3} \to 2moldm^{-3}\)

\(0.4 dm^{3} \to 2moldm^{-3}\)

Multiplying in order to get the moles of the acid.

\(0.4dm^{3} \times 2moldm^{-3} = 0.8moles\)

After diluting to \(0.2moldm^{-3}\), the new volume will be

\(\frac{0.8}{0.2} = 4dm^{3}\)

Converting back to cm^3,

We have \(4 \times 1000cm^{3} = 4000cm^{3}\)

Hence, the volume of water added = \((4000 - 400)cm^{3} = 3600cm^{3}\)
