In the laboratory, a student adds 48.5 mL of water to 13.9 mL of a 0.567 M hydrochloric acid solution. What is the concentration of the diluted solution? Assume the volumes are additive.
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:
M1 = 0.567 M
V1 = 13.9 mL
V2 = initial volume + added water
= 13.9 mL + 48.5 mL
= 62.4 mL
we have below equation to be used:
M1*V1 = M2*V2
M2 = (M1*V1)/V2
M2 = (0.567*13.9)/62.4
M2 = 0.126 M
Answer: 0.126 M
