Question

Suppose you need 0.12L of a 0.13M solution of NiCl2, but all you have is a solution that is a solution that is 0.23M. What volume of the solution do you need to dilute

Answer 1

- 0.05 L needs to be added to the original 0.12 L solution in order to dilute it from 0.13 M to 0.23 M.

The dilution problem uses the equation :

$M_aV_a= M_bV_b$

The initial molarity (concentration) $M_a =$ 0.13 M

The initial volume $V_a$ = 0.12 L

The desired molarity (concentration) $M_b$ = 0.23 M

The volume of the desired solution $V_b$ = ( 0.12 + x L )

Substituting values in above equation;

(0.13 M ) (0.12 L) = (0.23 M ) (0.12 L + x L)

0.0156 M L = 0.0276 M L + 0.23 x M L

- 0.012 M L = 0.23 x M L

x = - 0.05

Therefore, - 0.05 L needs to be added to the original 0.12 L solution in order to dilute it from 0.13 M to 0.23 M.
