    250 mL of a solution contains 6.3g of oxalic acid (mol. wt. =126). What is the volume (in litres) of water to be added to this solution to make it a 0.1 solution?                          

    A)  750                                       

    B)  7.5                    

    C)  0.075                                   

    D)  0.75                   

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     \[\because \] 250 mL of solution contains oxalic acid = 6.3g \[\therefore \] 1000 mL (1 L) of solution contains oxalic                 \[acid\,=\frac{6.3}{250}\times 1000\] \[=25.2\,g/L\]                 or            Strength = 25.2 / L                                 \[S=E\times N\] where, S = strength E = Equivalent wt. N = Normality \[\text{Eq}\text{.}\,\text{wt}\text{. = }\frac{\text{Molecular}\,\text{wt}\text{.}}{\text{basicity}\,\text{of}\,\text{acid}}\] Molecular wt. of oxalic acid = 126 Basicity =2                 \[=\frac{126}{2}=63\] So,          \[S=E\times N\]                 \[25.2=63\times N\] \[N=\frac{25.2}{63}=0.4\] Hence, the given solution is 250 mL 0.4 N,  oxalic acid solution. Now, this solution is makes to 0.1 N solution as:                 \[{{N}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}={{N}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}\] \[0.4\times 250=0.1\times {{V}_{2}}\] \[{{V}_{2}}=\frac{0.4\times 250}{0.1}=1000\,mL\] So, water added = 1000 - 250 = 750 mL water = 0.75 L water
