A chemist dilutes a 1.0 mL sample of 2.0 M KNO3 by adding water to it. If the concentration of the solution that is obtained is 0.0080 M, what is its volume? Use mc016-1.jpg.

250 ml. Use the equation

(initial concentration) x (initial volume) = (final concentration) x (final volume)

So:

(2 M) x (1ml) = (.008 M) x (X ml)

X = 250 ml

Answer: The volume of the diluted solution is 250 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the molarity of the diluted solution, we use the equation:


M_1V_1=M_2V_2

where,


M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the molarity and volume of the concentrated
KNO_3 solution


M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the molarity and volume of diluted
KNO_3 solution

We are given:


M_1=2M\\V_1=1mL\\M_2=0.008M\\V_2=?mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:


2* 1=0.008* V_2\\\\V_2=250mL

Hence, the volume of the diluted solution is 250 mL.
