You have 345 mL of a 2.5 M NaCl solution. If you boil the water until the volume of the solution is 250 mLwhat will the molarity of the solution be?

Respuesta :

The molarity of the solution will be 3.45 M

Further explanation

Dilution is the process of adding a solvent to get a more dilute solution.

The moles(n) before and after dilution are the same.

Can be formulated :

M₁V₁=M₂V₂  

M₁ = Molarity of the solution before dilution  

V₁ = volume of the solution before dilution  

M₂ = Molarity of the solution after dilution  

V₂ = Molarity volume of the solution after dilution

The initial solution

345 mL of a 2.5 M NaCl solution.

M₁=2.5 M

V₁=345 ml

The solution after boiled :

V₂=250 ml

[tex]\tt M_2=\dfrac{M_1.V_1}{V_2}\\\\M_2=\dfrac{2.5\times 345}{250}\\\\M_2=3.45~M[/tex]
