115 mL(0.115 L) of a 2.35 M Potassium fluoride (KF)
1.28 L of water
Required
The new concentration
Solution
Dilution is the process of adding solvent to get a more dilute solution.
The moles(n) before and after dilution are the same.
Can be formulated :
M₁V₁=M₂V₂
M₁ = Molarity of the solution before dilution
V₁ = volume of the solution before dilution
M₂ = Molarity of the solution after dilution
V₂ = volume of the solution after dilution
V₂=0.115 + 1.28 = 1.395 L
Input the value :
M₂ = (M₁V₁)/V₂
M₂ = (2.35 x 0.115)/1.395
M₂ = 0.194
