Question

Help pleaseeee. over dilutions in chemistry

Answer 1

5 L

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the molarity of the CaCl₂ solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of CaCl₂ = 0.5 mole

Volume = 2 L

Molarity =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Molarity = 0.5 / 2

Molarity = 0.25 M

Finally, we shall determine the volume of the diluted solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Molarity of stock solution (M₁) = 0.25 M

Volume of stock solution (V₁) = 2 L

Molarity of diluted solution (M₂) = 0.1 M

Volume of diluted solution (V₂) =?

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

0.25 × 2 = 0.1 × V₂

0.5 = 0.1 × V₂

Divide both side by 0.1

V₂ = 0.5 / 0.1

V₂ = 5 L

Thus the volume of the diluted solution is 5 L
