Question

When 20 milliliters of 1.0m hcl is diluted to a total volume of 60 milliliters, the concentration of the resulting solution is?

Answer 1

In preparing diluted solutions from concentrated solutions we can use the following formula
c1v1 = c2v2
c1 and v1 are the concentration and volume of the concentrated solution respectively
c2 and v2 are the concentrations and volume of the diluted solution respectively
Substituting these values ,
20 mL x 1.0 M = C x 60 mL
C = 0.33 M
The concentration of the resulting diluted solutions is 0.33 M
