Answer:

1.95 M

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity is a measure of the molar concentration of a substance (solution). In relation to the volume, it is calculated using the formula as follows;

C1V1 = C2V2

Where;

C1 = initial concentration (M)

C2 = final concentration (M)

V1 = initial volume (L)

V2 = final volume (L)

According to the provided information in this question;

C1 = 14.38 M

C2 = ?

V1 = 1.28 L

V2 = 9.45 L

Using C1V1 = C2V2

14.38 × 1.28 = C2 × 9.45

18.4064 = 9.45 C2

C2 = 18.4064 ÷ 9.45

C2= 1.95 M
