Question

if you take 2.0mL of a 7.0 ppm NaOH solution and dilute it to 250.0mL, calculate the final concentration in ppm.

Answer 1

C₂ = 0.056 ppm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 2.0 mL

Initial concentration = 7.0 ppm

Final volume = 250.0 mL

Final concentration = ?

Solution:

Formula:

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

C₁ = Initial concentration

V₁ = Initial volume

C₂ = Final concentration

V₂ = Final volume

Now we will put the values in formula.

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

7.0 ppm × 2.0 mL = C₂ × 250.0 mL

C₂ = 14.0 ppm.mL /250.0 mL

C₂ = 0.056 ppm
