Question

What volume of a 2.5 M stock solution of acetic acid (HC2H3O2) is required to prepare

100.0 milliliters of a 0.50 M acetic acid solution?

Use the equation

Mconcentrated × Vconcentrated = Mdilute × Vdilute

Answer 1

Answer is: volume is 20 mL.
c₁(CH₃COOH) = 2,5 M.
c₂(CH₃COOH) = 0,5 M.
V₂(CH₃COOH) = 100 mL.
V₁(CH₃COOH) = ?
c₁(CH₃COOH) · V₁(CH₃COOH) = c₂(CH₃COOH) · V₂(CH₃COOH).
2,5 M · V₁(CH₃COOH) = 0,5 M · 100 mL.
V₁(CH₃COOH) = 0,5 M · 100 mL ÷ 2,5 M.
V₁(CH₃COOH) = 20 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L =0,02 L.
