Answer:

314mL OR 0.314L

Step-by-step explanation:

this requires the dilution formula M1V1 = M2V2 where

M1 = initial concentration

V1 = initial volume

M2 = final concentration

V2 = final volume

In this case, we are solving for V1 where M1 = 5.65M, V1 = 250.0 mL, and M2 = 4.50M

Plugged into the equation we get:

(5.65M)(250.0mL) = (4.50M)V2

divide both sides by 4.50M and it becomes (M cancel)

V2 = 314mL
