Question

Calculate the volume of 1 M NaOH needed to prepare 10.0 ml of a 0.10 M solution.

Answer 1

Answer is: volume of 1 M NaOH is 1 ml.
c₁(NaOH) = 1 M.
V₂(NaOH) = 10 ml.
c₂(NaOH) = 0,1 M.
V₁(NaOH) = ?
c₁ - original concentration of the solution, before it gets diluted.
c₂ - final concentration of the solution, after dilution.
V₁ - volume to be diluted.
V₂ - final volume after dilution.
c₁ · V₁ = c₂ · V₂.
V₁(NaOH) = c₂ · V₂ ÷ c₁.
V₁(NaOH) = 0,1 M · 10 ml ÷ 1 M.
V₁(NaOH) = 1 ml.
