Question

You are given 100.0 ml of a 2.0 M solution of KOH. What would be the molarity of the solution if it is diluted to a volume of 1000 ml?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.2M

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

C1 = 2.0 M

V1 = 100mL

V2 = 1000mL

C2 =?

Using the dilution formula C1V1 = C2V2, the molarity of the diluted solution can be obtained as follows:

C1V1 = C2V2

2 x 100 = C2 x 1000

Divide both side by the 1000

C2 = (2 x 100) / 1000

C2 = 0.2M

The molarity of the diluted solution is 0.2M
