Answer:

The new molarity is 0,22M

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

0,89 M x 0,723L= C2 x 2.880 L

C2= (0,89 M x 0,723L)/2.880 L

C2= 0,22M
