You have 100 mL of solution with a concentration of 1.50 mol/L. You pipette 10 mL of this solution to a 50 mL volumetric flask and top up the rest with water to the 50 mL mark. What is the concentration of the diluted solution in the 50 mL volumetric flask?

Answer:

0.3 mol/L is the concentration of the diluted solution in the 50 mL volumetric flask.

Explanation:

We have 100 mL of solution with a concentration of 1.50 mol/L.

Molarity of the solution before dilution = [tex]M_1=1.50 mol/L[/tex]

Volume 1.50 mol/L solution added  in 50 mL volumetric flask = [tex]V_1=10 mL[/tex]

Molarity of the solution after dilution = [tex]M_2=?[/tex]

Volume of solution after dilution = [tex]V_2=50 mL[/tex]

[tex]M_1V_1=M_2V_2[/tex] (dilution)

[tex]M_2=\frac{M_1V_1}{V_2}=\frac{1.50 mol/L\times 10 mL}{50 mL}[/tex]

[tex]M_2=0.3 mol/L[/tex]

0.3 mol/L is the concentration of the diluted solution in the 50 mL volumetric flask.
