8. A diluted solution of Red Dye #40 is 6.5x10^-3 M. If the solution resulted by diluting 5.00 mL of Red Dye #20 to 500.0 mL, what was the oringinal solution concentration?
use dilution formula
M1*V1 = M2*V2
Here:
M1 is molarity of solution before dilution
M2 is molarity of solution after dilution
V1 is volume of solution before dilution
V2 is volume of solution after dilution
we have:
M2 = 6.5*10^-3 = 0.0065 M
V1 = 5.0 mL
V2 = 500.0 mL
we have below equation to be used:
M1*V1 = M2*V2
M1 = (M2 * V2) / V1
M1 = (0.0065*500)/5
M1 = 0.65 M
Answer: 0.65 M
