(1) That is a very, very large beaker.

(2) You need to give more information other than just 15 liters of acid. Knowing only its volume and that it is an acid tells nothing more to determine the concentration. If you had the rest of the beaker filled with solvent along with the 15 liter of acid, then you could have %2815%2F75%29%2A100=20 percent acid v/v.
