What is the volume that you should dilute 30mL of a 12.0M H2SO4 solution to obtain a 0.160M H2SO4 solution?

To solve this problem, the dilution equation (M1 x V1 = M2 X V2) must be used. The given values in the problem are M1 = 12.0 M, V1 = 30 mL, and M2 = 0.160 M. To solve for V2,

V2=M1xV1/M2

V2 = (12x30) / 0.16

V2 = 2,250 mL.

The correct answer is 2.25 L.
