This is a volume expansion or concentration dilution type problem. The essential formula is `Q_1C_1 = Q_2C_2`.
Here,
`Q_1` = initial quantity = `16\quadmL`.
`C_1` = initial concentration = `36.25\quad%`
`Q_2` = final quantity = `?\quad mL`.
`C_2` = final concentration = `2.37\quad %`
Therefore, rearranging the formula, we get:
`Q_2 = (Q_1 × C_1)/(C_2)`
`therefore Q_2 = (16 × 36.25) /2.37=245\quad mL` (Ans.).
