Answer:

4552 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Volume of stock solution (V₁) = 55 mL

Molarity of stock solution (M₁) = 12 M

Molarity of diluted solution (M₂) = 0.145 M

Volume of diluted solution (V₂) =?

The volume of the diluted solution can be obtained by using the dilution formula as illustrated below:

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

12 × 55 = 0.145 × V₂

660 = 0.145 × V₂

Divide both side by 0.145

V₂ = 660 / 0.145

V₂ ≈ 4552 mL

Thus, the volume of the diluted solution is 4552 mL
