Solution:
To determine how many litres of n/10 solution can be prepared from 63g of oxalic acid, we need to use the formula:
n = m/MV
Where:
n = number of moles of solute
m = mass of solute (in grams)
M = molar mass of solute (in grams/mole)
V = volume of solution (in liters)
First, we need to calculate the number of moles of oxalic acid present in 63g.
The molar mass of oxalic acid is 90.04 g/mol.
Therefore, the number of moles of oxalic acid present in 63g is:
n = m/M = 63/90.04 = 0.699 moles
Next, we need to calculate the volume of n/10 solution that can be prepared using this amount of oxalic acid.
We know that the concentration of n/10 solution is 1/10 of the normal concentration, which is 1 mole/liter. Therefore, the concentration of n/10 solution is:
C = 1/10 x 1 = 0.1 moles/liter
Using the formula above, we can rearrange it to solve for V:
V = m/Mn/C
Substituting the values we have:
V = 63/90.04/0.1 = 6.997 liters
Therefore, we can prepare 6.997 liters of n/10 solution from 63g of oxalic acid.
However, since we cannot measure a fractional amount of solution, we need to round up this value to the nearest whole number.
Thus, the correct answer is 10 liters of n/10 solution that can be prepared from 63g of oxalic acid.
