Question

Calculate the final concentration of the solution when water is added to prepare each of the following solutions.60.0 mL of a 17.2 M HCl solution is diluted to 600. mL

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

Given:

Initial concentration (C1) = 17.2 M

Initial volume (V1) = 60.0 mL

Final volume (V2) = 600 mL

Required: Final Concentration

Solution

To solve this problem use the following equation:

`\begin{gathered} C_1V_1=C_2V_(2_) \\ C_2=(C_1V_1)/(V_2) \\ C_2=\frac{(17.2\text{ M x 60.0 mL\rparen}}{600\text{ mL}} \\ \\ C_2=1.72\text{ M} \end{gathered}`

Answer

Final conentration = 1.72 M
