1.	b. Describe how you would prepare 1 L of a 2 Msolution of acetic acid. The gram formulaweight of acetic acid is 60.05 g/mol, and itsdensity is 1.049 g/mL.
Answer» To make a 2 M solution of acetic acid, dissolve 120.1 g acetic acid in 500 mL distilled or deionized water in a 1000-mL volumetric flask. Since acetic acid is a liquid, it may also be measured by volume. Divide the mass of acid by its density (1.049 g/mL) to determine the volume (114 mL). Use either 120.1 g or 114 mL acetic acid to make the solution. Swirl the flask gently to mix the solution. Once the solution is at room temperature, dilute to the mark and invert the flask several times to mix.
