Question

You wish to make a 0.285 M hydroiodic acid solution from a stock solution of 12.0 M hydroiodic acid. How much concentrated acid must you add to obtain a total volume of 50.0 mL of the dilute solution

Answer 1

The amount, in mL, of the concentrated acid required, would be 1.1875 mL

Dilution

From the dilution equation:

m1v1=m2v2 where m1 and m2 = molarity before and after dilution, and v1 and v2 = volume before and after dilution.

m2 = 0.285M, m1 = 12.0M v2 = 50.0 mL

v1 = m2v2/m1 = 0.285x50/12 = 1.1875 mL

Thus, 1.1875 mL of the acid would be taken and diluted with water up to the 50 mL mark.
