Question

How many millimeters of 5 M NaCl are required to prepare 1500 mL of 0.002 M NaCl?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.6 mL.

Explanation:

We use the mathematical expression:

Ci x Vi = Cf x Vf

Where Ci is the initial concentration (5 M); Cf and Vf refers to final concentration (0.002 M) and final volume (1500 mL). With the given data, we calculate the initial volume (Vi):

Vi = (Cf x Vf)/Ci = (0.002 M x 1500 mL)/(5 M) = 0.6 mL

Therefore, we need 0.6 mL of 5 M NaCl to prepare the solution with the requested dilution.
