Answer:
0.1 M
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Initial volume (V1) = 100 mL
Initial concentration (C1) = 0.5 M
Final volume (V2) = 500 mL
Final concentration (C2) =?
Using the dilution formula C1V1 = C2V2, the new concentration of the solution can be obtained as follow:
C1V1 = C2V2
0.5 × 100 = C2 × 500
50 = C2 × 500
Divide both side by 500
C2 = 50/500
C2 = 0.1 M
Therefore, the new concentration of the solution is 0.1 M
