Answer:

The correct answer is 0.06 M

Step-by-step explanation:

The concentration of the dilute solution (Cd= dilute concentration) can be calculated from the concentrated solution (Cc) and the volumes (Vi and Vf) as follows:

Cc x Vc = Cd x Vd

Cd = (Cc x Vc)/Vd

We have:

Cc= 6 M

Vc = 10 ml (volume of concentrated solution)

Vd= 1 L= 1000 ml (volume of dilute solution)

⇒Cd= (6 M x 10 ml)/1000 ml

Cd = 0.06 M
