We can use the following formula when making diluted solutions from more concentrated solutions. c1v1 = c2v2 where c1 is the concentration and v1 is the volume of the concentrated solution and c2 is concentration and v2 is volume of the diluted solution to be prepared
substituting these values in the equation 2.0 M x V = 0.300 M x 500 mL V = 75 mL
75 mL should be taken from the stock solution and diluted upto 500 mL to make the 0.300 M solution
And, water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid. This allows the water molecule to become attracted to many other different types of molecules.
