Question

What is the final volume V2 in milliliters when 0.551 L of a 50.0 % (m/v) solution is diluted to 23.5 % (m/v)?

Answer 1

`V_2=1.17L`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for dilution processes, we must remember that the amount of solute remains the same, therefore, we can write:

`V_1C_1=V_2C_2`

Whereas V accounts for volume and C for concentration that in this case is %(m/v). In such a way, the final volume V2 turns out:

`V_2=(V_1C_1)/(C_2)= (0.551L*50.0\%)/(23.5\%)\\ \\V_2=1.17L`

Best regards.
