Answer:
The diluted solution is 0.65 M
Explanation:
Dilution formula to solve the problem is:
M concentrated . V concentrated = M Diluted . V diluted
We can also make a rule of three though.
In 1000 mL of concentrated solution, we have 13.1 moles of HNO₃
So in 25 mL we have (25 . 13.1 ) / 1000 = 0.327 moles of HNO₃
This moles are also in 0.500 L of diluted solution, the new molarity will be:
0.327 mol / 0.5L = 0.65 M
Molarity of diluted solution must be always lower than concentrated solution, otherwise the excersise is wrong.
If we replace in the formula
13.1 M . 25 mL = 500 mL . M diluted
M diluted = 13.1 m . 25 mL / 500 mL = 0.65 M
