Question

How much 0.05 M HCl solution can be made by diluting 2L of 10 M HCl?

Answer 1

400 L

Step-by-step explanation:

As this problem deals with a dilution process, we can use the following formula:

• C₁V₁=C₂V₂

Where subscript 1 stands for the concentrated concentration and volume, while 2 stands for the diluted values. Meaning that in this case:

• C₁ = 10 M

• V₁ = 2 L

• C₂ = 0.05 M

• V₂ = ?

We input the data:

• 10 M * 2 L = 0.05 M * V₂

And solve for V₂:

• V₂ = 400 L
