Question

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?

Answer 1

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
