A student takes a measured volume of 3.00 M HCl to prepare a 50.0 mL sample of 1.80 M HCl. What volume of 3.00 M HCl did the stu
vlabodo [156]

Answer is 30.0mL

according to the question dilution is performed by the student which can be calculated with the help of :

                          M_{1}V_{1}=M_{2}V_{2}     EQUATION (1)


Here, we have:

 M_{1} = 3M

  V_{1}  = y mL

M_{2}= 1.80 M

V_{2} = 50.0mL

putting the known values in equation (1) which will give us value of V_{1}

                                         3.00× y =1.80 ×50.0

                                                         y= 30.0mL
