Final answer:

To find the volume of the resulting solution, use the equation C1V1 = C2V2. Plugging in the given values and solving for V2, the resulting volume is 0.5 L.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of the resulting solution, we can use the equation:

C1V1 = C2V2

Where C1 and V1 are the initial concentration and volume, and C2 and V2 are the final concentration and volume.

Plugging in the given values:

(0.3556 M)(0.1718 L) = (0.1222 M)(V2)

Solving for V2:

V2 = (0.3556 M)(0.1718 L) / (0.1222 M) = 0.5 L

Therefore, the volume of the resulting solution is 0.5 L, which is not one of the given options.
