Answer 1

0.305

Step-by-step explanation:

0.305

Answer 2

V1= 0.305L

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the initial volume of 1.25M potassium fluoride needed to make tge dilution specified in the question, we can use: C1 × V1 = C2 × V2

Since the question wants the volume in litres, convert 455 mL to L

455/ 1000

= 0.455 L

Now make the substitution

1.25 × V1 = 0.838 × 0.455

Rearrange to make V1 the subject

V1=

`(0.838 * 0.455)/(1.25 ) = 0.305`
