The problem may well be the ambiguity in the molarity of glacial acetic acid. The molarity depends upon the density and percent composition.
mLacid x M acid = 155 x 0.25
IF we use 100% for the glacial acetic acid (I see 98-100% on the bottles) and density of 1.049 g/mL, then the calculated molarity of glacial acetic acid is 17.4M.)
So you need (155 x 0.25/17.4) = 2.227 mL which you would round to 2.23 mL.
Then 109 drops x (2.23 mL/2.00 mL) = ?
drops. You can adjust the numbers depending upon the molarity of the glacial acetic acid you are using.
Thank you so much!
