How would you prepare 2.00 L of .100 M K2CrO4

When we are adding water (or solvent) to a solution to decrease its concentration, we are diluting the solution. When dealing with dilution we will use the following equation:

M1 V1 = M2V2

M1 = initial concentration

V1 = initial volume

M2 = final concentration

V2 = final volume

Calculate the volume of the 1.75 M K2CrO4 stock solution needed

M1 = 0.100 M

V1 = 2.00 L

M2 = 1.75 M

V2 = ?

Remember the equation that I said

M1 V1 = M2 V2


(M1 V1)/(M2) = (M2 V2)/(M2)

V2 =
(M1 V1)/(M2)

V2 = 0.100*2/1.75

0.114 L

We would prepare 2.00 L of 0.100 M K2CrO4 from 1.75 M K2CrO4 stock solution by diluting 0.114 L of stock solution to the desired volume of 2.00 L

Good Luck!
