Question

Of an 8 M solution of HCI, 1 L is diluted to 2 M. What is the volume of the diluted
solution?

Answer 1

Answer: The volume of diluted solution is 4 L

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the dilution law,

`M_1V_1=M_2V_2`

where,

`M_1` = molarity of stock
`HCl` solution = 8 M

`V_1` = volume of stock
`HCl` solution = 1 L

`M_1` = molarity of diluted
`HCl` solution = 2 M

`V_1` = volume of diluted
`HCl` solution = ?

Putting in the values we get:

`8M* 1L=2M* V_2`

`V_2=4L`

Therefore, volume of diluted solution is 4 L
