Question

What volume of concentrated nitric acid (15.0 M) is

requiredfor the preparationof 2.00 L of 0.001M nitric acid
solution?

Answer 1

130 μL

Step-by-step explanation:

The dilution formula is used to calculate the volume V₁ required:

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

V₁ = (C₂V₂)/C₁ = (2.00L)(0.001M)/(15.0M) = 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ L or 130 μL

(1.3 x 10⁻⁴ L)(10⁶ μL/L) = 130 μL
