Hello!
In a school’s laboratory, students require 50.0 mL of 2.50 M H2SO4 for an experiment, but the only available stock solution of the acid has a concentration of 18.0 M. What volume of the stock solution would they use to make the required solution?
We have the following data:
M1 (initial molarity) = 2.50 M (or mol/L)
V1 (initial volume) = 50.0 mL → 0.05 L
M2 (final molarity) = 18.0 M (or mol/L)
V2 (final volume) = ? (in mL)
Let's use the formula of dilution and molarity, so we have:
Answer:
The volume is approximately 6.94 mL
