Question

Final volume of a .50 M H3PO4 solution prepared from 50 mL of a 6 M H3PO4 solution

Answer 1

600 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial concentration (C₁) = 6 M

Initial volume (V₁) = 50 mL

Final concentration (C₂) = 0.5 M

Final volume (V₂) =?

Using the dilution formula (i.e C₁V₁ = C₂V₂) we can obtain the final volume as illustrated below:

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

6 × 50 = 0.5 × V₂

300 = 0.5 × V₂

Divide both side by 0.5

V₂ = 300 / 0.5

V₂ = 600 mL

Thus, the final volume is 600 mL
