The required volume of water to make the dilute solution of 0.5 M is 188 mL.
<h3>How do we calculate the required volume?</h3>
Required volume of water to dilute the stock solution will be calculated by using the below equation as:
M₁V₁ = M₂V₂, where
- M₁ & V₁ are the molarity and volume of stock solution.
- M₂ & V₂ are the molarity and volume of dilute solution.
On putting values from the question to the above equation, we get
V₂ = (2)(47) / (0.5) = 188mL
Hence required volume of water is 188 mL.
