Answer:

=14.8 grams

Explanation:

The remaining amount is normally calculated using the formula:

Remaining mass= 1/2ⁿ × Original mass where n is the number of half-lives.

Therefore, original mass= Remaining mass × 2ⁿ

Remaining mass= 2.2 grams

Number of half lives= 2.75 half lives

Original mass= 2.2g × 2²·⁷⁵

=14.8 grams

What volume of a 0.33-M C12H22O11 solution can be diluted to prepare 25 mL of a solution with a concentration of 0.025 M?
Vsevolod [243]

The dilution formula can be used to find the volume needed

c1v1 = c2v2

Where c1 is concentration and v1 is volume of the concentrated solution

And c2 is concentration and v2 is volume of the diluted solution to be prepared

c1 - 0.33 M

c2 - 0.025 M

v2 - 25 mL

Substituting these values in the equation

0.33 M x v1 = 0.025 M x 25 mL

v1 = 1.89 mL

Therefore 1.89 mL of the 0.33 M solution needs to be diluted up to 25 mL to make a 0.025 M solution
