Volume of Sulphuric Acid (Mass Percent)

AI Thread Summary
To determine the volume of an 88% mass percent sulphuric acid solution needed to supply 43.0 g of sulphuric acid, the density of the solution (1.8022 g/cc) is used. The calculation starts by converting grams of sulphuric acid to milliliters using the density, resulting in approximately 23.9 ml. This volume is then adjusted for the concentration by dividing by the mass percent (0.88), yielding a final volume of about 27.15 ml. The calculations appear correct, confirming that 27.15 ml of the solution is required. This method effectively addresses the problem using density and mass percent relationships.

The Density of a solution of sulphuric acid is 1.8022g/cc, and it is 88.00 percent by mass. What volume of the solution (in milliliters) do you need to supply 43.0 g of sulphuric acid?

I'm not too sure how to solve this question, I tried it and thought it was too simple? This is what I did, if it is wrong or if there's a better way of doing it can you please help me :)

1 ml = 1 cc
43.0 g/1.8022 g/cc = 23.9 ml.
23.9ml/0.88 = 27.15 ml
answer 27.15 ml?

Looks OK to me.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
