Question

Answer the following and express your answer using two significant figures.

Calculate the final concentration of each of the following diluted solutions.


A) 3.5 L of a 4.0 M HNO3 solution is added to water so that the final volume is 8.0 L .

B) Water is added to 0.15 L of a 6.0 M KOH solution to make 2.0 L of a diluted KOH solution.

C) A 35.0 mL sample of 8.0 % (m/v) NaOH is diluted with water so that the final volume is 200.0 mL .

D) A 6.0 mL sample of 50.0 % (m/v) acetic acid (HC2H3O2) solution is added to water to give a final volume of 25 mL .

Explanation / Answer

A) C1V1 = C2V2

C2=C1V1/V2

C2 = 4.0 M * 3.5 L / 8.0 L = 1.8 M

B) C2=6 M * 0.15 L/ 2.0 L = 0.45 M

C) C2 = 8.0 % (m/v) * 35.0 mL / 200 mL = 1.4 % (m/v)

D) C2 = 50.0 % (m/v) * 6 mL / 25 mL = 12 % (m/v)
