Question

Standard Solution and Dilution Dry Post-Lab1.) How much 0.05 HCl solution can be made by diluting 250 mL of 10M HCl?Round your answer to two significant digits.

Answer 1

The volume of the solution is 50 liters

Step-by-step explanation

Given that;

The final concentration of the solution is 0.05M

The initial concentration of the solution is 10M

The initial volume of the solution is 250mL

Follow the steps below to find the final volume of the solution

Apply the dilution formula

M1 V1 = M2 V2

`\begin{gathered} \text{ 0.05 }*\text{ V1 = 10 }*\text{ 250} \\ \text{ 0.05 }*\text{ V1 = 2500} \\ \text{ Divide both sides by 0.05} \\ \text{ V1 = }\frac{\text{ 2500}}{\text{ 0.05}} \\ \text{ V1 = 50, 000mL} \\ \\ \text{ Convert the volume to liters by dividing it by 1000} \\ \text{ V1 = }(50000)/(1000) \\ \text{ V1 = 50 Liters} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the volume of the solution is 50 liters
