Question

In the laboratory you dilute 5.32 mL of a concentrated 6.00 M perchloric acid solution to a total volume of 100 mL. What is the concentration of the dilute solution

Answer 1

0.3192 M

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Volume of stock solution (V1) = 5.32 mL Molarity of stock solution (M1) = 6 M

Volume of diluted solution (V2) = 100 mL

Molarity of diluted solution (M2) =?

We can obtain the molarity of the diluted solution by using the dilution formula as shown follow:

M1V1 = M2V2

6 × 5.32 = M2 ×100

31.92 = M2 × 100

Divide both side by 100

M2 = 31.92 / 100

M2 = 0.3192 M

Therefore, the molarity of the diluted solution is 0.3192 M.
