Answer: The final concentration is 0.16 M.
Explanation:
According to the dilution law:
where,
= molarity of stock solution = 1.60 M
= volume of stock solution = 54.0 ml
= molarity of diluted solution = ?
= volume of diluted solution = 218 ml
Putting these values:
Now 109 ml of this diluted solution is further diluted by adding 161 mL of water.
Again applying dilution law:
Thus the final concentration is 0.16 M
