Answer:
0.1 L
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Concentration of stock solution (C₁) = 1.25 M
Volume of diluted solution (V₂) = 0.5 L
Concentration of diluted solution (C₂) = 0.25 M
Volume of stock solution needed solution (V₁) =?
The volume of the stock solution needed can be obtained as follow:
C₁V₁ = C₂V₂
1.25 × V₁ = 0.25 × 0.5
1.25 × V₁ = 0.125
Divide both side by 1.25
V₁ = 0.125 / 1.25
V₁ = 0.1 L
Therefore, the volume of the stock solution needed is 0.1 L
