Question

To make 2.00 L of 0.300 M sulfuric acid, how many mL of a 1.00 M stock solution should be used?

Answer 1

We are given with
M1 = 1.00 M

M2 = 0.300 M
V2 = 2.00 L

We are asked to get V1

Using material balance
M1 V1 = M2 V2
Substituting the given values
1.00 V1 = 0.300 M (2.00 L)
V1 = 0.600 L or 600 mL
THe volume needed is 600 mL
