Answer:
4552 mL
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Volume of stock solution (V₁) = 55 mL
Molarity of stock solution (M₁) = 12 M
Molarity of diluted solution (M₂) = 0.145 M
Volume of diluted solution (V₂) =?
The volume of the diluted solution can be obtained by using the dilution formula as illustrated below:
M₁V₁ = M₂V₂
12 × 55 = 0.145 × V₂
660 = 0.145 × V₂
Divide both side by 0.145
V₂ = 660 / 0.145
V₂ ≈ 4552 mL
Thus, the volume of the diluted solution is 4552 mL
