Answer:

The new concentration is 0,13 M.

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

C2= (C1 x V1)/ V2

C2= (0,40 M x 1,0 L)/ 3,0L

C2= 0,13 M
