Question

If I add 475mL of water to 75.0mL of a 0.315M NaOH solution, what will the molarity of the diluted solution be?

Answer 1

Answer is: the molarity of the diluted solution 0,043 M.
V(NaOH) = 75 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L = 0,075 L.
c(NaOH) = 0,315 M = 0,315 mol/L.
n(NaOH) = c(NaOH) · V(NaOH).
n(NaOH) = 0,075 L · 0,315 mol/L.
n(NaOH) = 0,023625 mol.
V(solution) = 0,475 L + 0,75 L.
c(solution) = 0,023625 mol ÷ 0,550 L.
c(solution) = 0,043 mol/L.
