A pharmacist works with a 1. 75 M solution of sodium bromide (NaBr) and water. The volume of the solution is 84. 0 milliliters. If the pharmacist dilutes the solution to 1. 00 M, what is the volume of the new solution? Express your answer to three significant figures. The volume of the new solution is milliliters.

Respuesta :

Dilution is the method of decreasing the solute concentration in the solution by adding solvent. The new volume after dilution is 147 mL.

What is the relation between molarity and dilution?

Molarity and dilution are inversely proportional as the increase in the dilution of the solution the molarity of the solution will decrease as the number of moles of the solute will decrease.

The volume of the diluted solution can be calculated as:

[tex]\rm M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}[/tex]

Where,

Initial molarity =  1.75 M

Initial volume = 84 mL

Final molarity = 1.0 M

Final volume = ?

Substituting values in the equation:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\rm V_{2} &= \dfrac{\rm M_{1}V_{1} }{\rm M_{2}}\\\\&= \dfrac{1.75 \times 84.0}{1}\\\\&= 147\;\rm mL\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, 147 mL is the new volume after dilution.
