Final answer:
To prepare a 1/2% Lysol solution, use 5 mL of the stock solution and dilute it with distilled water to a total volume of 250 mL.
Step-by-step explanation:
To prepare a 1/2% Lysol solution, you will need to dilute a stock solution of Lysol with distilled water. Here's how you can prepare a 250 mL solution:
- Calculate the amount of stock solution you need to use. The final concentration is 1/2%, so you will need to use 5 mL of the stock solution.
- Add the 5 mL of the stock solution to a volumetric flask.
- Add distilled water to the flask until the total volume reaches 250 mL.
- Mix the solution well to ensure homogeneity.
