Answer:

Explanation:
The quantity of moles of ethanol in the solution is:


The mass and volume of ethanol in the solution are, respectively:




The difference between the total volume of water and ethanol mixed to prepare the solution and the actual volume of solution is:


Answer:

Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, since we need to dilute the 1.75-M HCl, and the total number of moles remain unchanged, we can write:

And in terms of volume and concentration:

Thus, we can solve for the volume of the concentrated HCl as shown below:

Therefore, we plug in the data to get:
