If you dilute a 10.0 mL of a 11.5 M HCl solution to make a 1.10 M HCl solution, what will the final

volume be?

Step-by-step explanation:

The final volume will be 100 mL. This is because when you dilute a solution, the molarity of the solution decreases while the volume increases. Since the molarity of the original solution is 11.5 M and the desired molarity is 1.10 M, the volume must increase by a factor of 10.5 (11.5/1.10). Therefore, the final volume will be 10.0 mL x 10.5 = 100 mL.
