A chemist must dilute of aqueous aluminum chloride solution until the concentration falls to . He'll do this by adding distilled water to the solution until it reaches a certain final volume. Calculate this final volume, in liters. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Final answer:

The final volume of the solution C, after several dilutions, is 1.50 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the final volume when diluting a solution, we can use the equation:

(stock concentration) x (stock volume) = (final concentration) x (final volume)

In this case, the stock concentration is 0.177 M, and the stock volume is 1.50 mL. The final concentration is the same as the stock concentration, and the final volume is 1.0000 L. Plugging in these values:

(0.177 M) x (1.50 mL) = (0.177 M) x (final volume)

Solving for the final volume:

final volume = (0.177 M x 1.50 mL) / (0.177 M) = 1.50 mL

Therefore, the final volume of solution C is 1.50 mL.
