The final volume of the diluted acid that was initially in a 55 mL bottle of 12 M HCl and diluted with water to a 2.5 M HCl solution is 264mL.
<h3>How to calculate volume?</h3>
The volume of a solution can be calculated using the following formula:
C1V1 = C2V2
Where;
C1 = initial concentration
C2 = final concentration
V1 = initial volume
V2 = final volume
12 × 55 = 2.5 × V2
660 = 2.5V2
V2 = 264mL
Therefore, the final volume of the diluted acid that was initially in a 55 mL bottle of 12 M HCl and diluted with water to a 2.5 M HCl solution is 264mL.
