Answer:
1.36 × 10³ mL of water.
Explanation:
We can utilize the dilution equation. Recall that:
Where <em>M</em> represents molarity and <em>V</em> represents volume.
Let the initial concentration and unknown volume be <em>M</em>₁ and <em>V</em>₁, respectively. Let the final concentration and required volume be <em>M</em>₂ and <em>V</em>₂, respectively. Solve for <em>V</em>₁:
Therefore, we can begin with 0.640 L of the 2.50 M solution and add enough distilled water to dilute the solution to 2.00 L. The required amount of water is thus:
Convert this value to mL:
Therefore, about 1.36 × 10³ mL of water need to be added to the 2.50 M solution.
