Answer:
V1 = 8.3 mL
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Given data
Initial volume (V1): ?
Initial concentration (M1): 6.0 M
Final volume (V2): 50.0 mL
Final concentration (M2): 1.0 M
Step 2: Calculate the volume of the initial solution
We want to prepare a dilute solution from a concentrated one. We can calculate the volume of the initial solution using the dilution rule.
M1 × V1 = M2 × V2
V1 = M2 × V2 / M1
V1 = 1.0 M × 50.0 mL / 6.0 M = 8.3 mL
We will take 8.3 mL of the 6.0 M solution and add water until we have 50.0 mL.
