To solve this we use the equation,

M1V1 = M2V2

where M1 is the concentration of the stock solution, V1 is the volume of the stock solution, M2 is the concentration of the new solution and V2 is its volume.

6.00 M ( 1.0 L ) = ( 0.500 M ) V2

V2 = 12 L

Therefore, approximately 11 L of water should be added to the 1 L of 6.00 M solution. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Another M1V1=M2V2
V1=1.0L 
M1=6.00M 
M2=0.500M 
V2=?? 
(6.00M)(1.0L)=(0.500M)V2 
Solve for V2 you get 12L or 12000mL

A solution contains 3.1 mM Zn(NO3)2 and 4.2 mM Ca(NO3)2. The p-function for Zn2+ is _____, and the p-function for NO3- is _____.

seropon [69]

Answer: The p-function of $Zn^{2+}$ and $NO_3^{-}$ ions are 2.51 and 2.14 respectively.

Explanation:

p-function is defined as the negative logarithm of any concentration.

We are given:

Millimolar concentration of zinc nitrate = 3.1 mM

Millimolar concentration of calcium nitrate = 4.2 mM

Converting this into molar concentration, we use the conversion factor:

1 M = 1000 mM

Concentration of zinc nitrate = 0.0031 M = 0.0031 mol/L

1 mole of zinc nitrate produces 1 mole of zinc ions and 2 moles of nitrate ions

Concentration of zinc ions = 0.0031 M

Concentration of nitrate ions in zinc nitrate, $M_1=(2\times 0.0031)=0.0062M$

Concentration of calcium nitrate = 0.0042 M = 0.0042 mol/L

1 mole of calcium nitrate produces 1 mole of calcium ions and 2 moles of nitrate ions

Concentration of calcium ions = 0.0042 M

Concentration of nitrate ions in calcium nitrate, $M_2=(2\times 0.0042)=0.0084M$

To calculate the concentration of nitrate ions in the solution, we use the equation:

$M=\frac{M_1V_1+M_2V_2}{V_1+V_2}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$M=\frac{(0.0062\times 1)+(0.0084\times 1)}{1+1}\\\\M=0.0073M$

Calculating the p-function of zinc ions and nitrate ions in the solution:

For zinc ions:

$\text{p-function of }Zn^{2+}\text{ ions}=-\log[Zn^{2+}]$

$\text{p-function of }Zn^{2+}\text{ ions}=-\log(0.0031)\\\\\text{p-function of }Zn^{2+}\text{ ions}=2.51$

For nitrate ions:

$\text{p-function of }NO_3^{-}\text{ ions}=-\log[NO_3^{-}]$

$\text{p-function of }NO_3^{-}\text{ ions}=-\log(0.0073)\\\\\text{p-function of }NO_3^{-}\text{ ions}=2.14$

Hence, the p-function of $Zn^{2+}$ and $NO_3^{-}$ ions are 2.51 and 2.14 respectively.
