Question

Two vessels A and B are filled with dilute sulfuric
acid (i.e. mixture of sulfuric acid and water).
Vessel A has the ratio of acid and water in
1:2, while the vessel B has the ratio of acid and
water in 3: 1. To prepare 5 litre mixture, dilute
sulfuric acid containing equal amount of acid and
water
(a) 2 and 3 litre
(6) 3 and 2 litre
(c) 1 and 4 litre
(d) 4 and 1 litre
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Lets see…… you have two separate vessels A and B filled with Dil. H2SO4 and H2O.

In vessel A we have the ratio 1:2 means one part of Sulphuric acid is dilutes with two parts of water.

In vessel B we have the ratio 3:1 means three parts of acid is mixed to one part of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the options that you have provided, to get a total mixture of acid and water equivalent to 5 liters, it is obvious that by taking the contents of both vessels only, we get a ratio of 3:2 which means that 3 parts of acid will be mixed with 2 parts of water. So the correct answer will be (C) 3:2.

Hope that helps.
