Type the correct answer in the box. a pharmacist works with a 1.75 m solution of sodium bromide (nabr) and water. the volume of the solution is 84.0 milliliters. if the pharmacist dilutes the solution to 1.00 m, what is the volume of the new solution? express your answer to three significant figures. the volume of the new solution is milliliters.

Answer: 147 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Molarity of the sodium bromide (NaBr) solution (M1) = 1.75 M

Volume of the solution (V1) = 84 mL

Molarity of the diluted NaBr solution (M2) = 1 M

Using the dilution formula to solve for V2:


\begin{gathered}M_(1) V_(1)=M_(2) V_(2) \\V_(2)=(1.75 \mathrm{M} * 84 \mathrm{~mL}) / 1 \mathrm{M} \\V_(2)=147 \mathrm{~mL}\end{gathered}

Therefore, the new volume of the solution is 147 mL
