Question

What volume of concentrated nitric acid (15.0M) is requiredfor

the preperation of 2.00 L of 0.001 M nitric acidsolution.

Answer 1

0.133 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

• Initial concentration (C₁): 15.0 M

• Initial volume (V₁): to be determined

• Final concentration (C₂): 0.001 M

• Final volume (V₂): 2.00 L

We can find the volume of the concentrated solution using the dilution rule.

C₁ × V₁ = C₂ × V₂

V₁ = C₂ × V₂ / C₁

V₁ = 0.001 M × 2.00 L / 15.0 M

V₁ = 1.33 × 10⁻⁴ L = 0.133 mL
