How much water do you have to add to dilute 500 L of acid to a neutral PH?

It's impossible. Distilled water is neutral (7) in pH already. So no matter how much you add to any amount of acid, the pH will never reach 7. The closest you could get is 6.9 repeating.

How much do you dilute green soap?
How many ounces of green soap do i dilute with water
Does weak acid always act to change the pH when placed in water?
Not necessarily, if a solution of a strong acid is very dilute it will have a higher pH than some weak acids in higher concentrations.
Why should you add acid to water when diluting it?
Mixing acid and water produces an exothermic reaction (i.e. it releases heat). If you add water to acid, the water has lots and lots of acid to react with. the water will boil and splatter the strong acid - perhaps on the hand or face of the person doing the adding. If you add acid to water, the same reaction occurs but there is a bit of acid being added to lots and lots of water. Boiling is unlikely as the mass of water is a great heat sink, and any acid is rapidly diluted, so if there is any splattering it is much less, and of a much diluted form of the acid.
Is icing sugar a neutral base or acid?
Does it burn your mouth or melt your skin off...... no, it's pretty much neutral.
How many gallons of water can dilute 28 ppm of cyanide?
Even a single drop of water will dilute 28 ppm of cyanide. Not by much, perhaps, but the question does not specify dilution to what degree.
Is nitric acid a dilute acid?
Nitric acid can be dilute or concentrated. This is simply a matter of how much of it you have in a given amount of a solution, which is variable.
How much water will there be in a dilute acid?
Almost amount of water can be used. The amount you use depends on what purpose the solution will serve. Most dilutions involve using at least as much water as you have of the acid or base, often several times that amount.
How much water will be there in a dilute acid in percentage?
well in dilute acid there is 1-10 percent and there will be only 90 percent of water so i was told from a science teacher who studied this
How much acid does water contain?
Pure water has a pH of 7, which is perfectly neutral on the acid-base scale.
How much do you dilute green soap?
How many ounces of green soap do i dilute with water
How much acid in neutral acid?
If a substance is said to be neutral, the same compound cannot be acidic.
Does glacial acetic acid smell the same as acetic acid?
Glacial acetic acid is pure acetic acid, not mixed with water. The smell of glacial acetic acid is much stronger than that of dilute acetic acid. Other than the greater intensity, the smell is exactly the same.
How weak is acid diffent from dilute acid?
They are pretty much the same. The only difference might be that the weak acid was always weak and the dilute acid used to be stronger and then got watered down, or diluted. But, essentially they can both have the same pH and be called either one.

What to do if too much base on the skin rather than acid?
I don't know how relevant this is, but in our chemistry labs we were told to wash off with copious amounts of water and our chemistry teacher said once to spill some dilute acid over it to neutralise it first. I stress dilute, e.g. ethanoic acid in vinegar when we were dealing with very powerful conc. chemicals.
What are diluted acids?
A dilute acid is one that is not very concentrated. You can make an acid solution more dilute by adding water. Note that you have to be careful with the terms strong and weak; very strong acids can also be very dilute. Strong and weak characterize the acid's ability to dissociate in an aqueous solution, independent of concentration.
