Calculate the number of grams of sulfuric acid in 1 gallon of battery acid if the solution has a density of 1.30 g/mL and is 38.8 % sulfuric acid by mass.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The number of grams of sulfuric acid in 1 gallon of battery acid is 1909.4 g.

Explanation:

We have:

V = 1 gallon = 3785.4 mL

% m/m = 38.8 %    

The number of grams of sulfuric acid can be calculated as follows:

[tex] m = 1.30 \frac{g}{mL}*3785.4 mL*\frac{38.8}{100} = 1909.4 g [/tex]

Hence, the number of grams of sulfuric acid in 1 gallon of battery acid is 1909.4 g.

I  hope it helps you!
