Answer:

Molarity of our solution= 0.46=0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

When diluting a solution we can use the formula: 1 1 = 2 2

= M= Molarity of the solution

=V=volumes

On the left side, we'll put what we know/already have and on the right side of the formula we'll put down what we want to dilute it to.

Let's plug in what we already know.

(0.700M)(2L) = (M2)(3L)

Solve for M2 by dividing both sides by 3 so M2 will be by itself.

(0.700M)(2L)/(3L) = M2

M2= 0.46, we can round it up to 0.5
