Answer:

The new molarity is 0,1359M.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilution consists of the decrease of concentration of a substance in a solution (the higher the volume of the solvent, the lower the concentration).

We use the formula for dilutions:

C1 x V1 = C2 x V2

0,60 M x 0,639 L= C2 x 2,822 L

C2=(0,60 M x 0,639 L)/ 2, 822 L

C2=0,1359 M
