Answer:
0.22M
Explanation:
We will be using the law of dilutions. We are simply increasing the amount of solvent to create a larger volume of solution.
So: moles before dilution = moles after dilution & . And M = moles/liter of solution, so if we express this as moles = M x
.
That is how we derive the formula we will be using:
or
Applying this formula to our problem, we can substitute the variables with the given values to find the molarity of the dilute solution.
M1 = 3.5M
V1 = 18.8mL
M2 = ?
V2 = 296.6mL
Equation: (3.5M)(18.8mL) = (296.6mL)(M2)
==> 65.8M*mL = 296.6mL * M2
==> M2 = (65.8 M*mL)/296.6mL
==> M2 = 0.22M
Answer: D. It is a base because it increases the concentration of hydroxide ions.
Explanation: A base is a substance which dissociates to give hydroxide ions in water.
An acid is a substance which dissociates to give hydrogen ions in water.
So is a base as it gives
ions when dissolved in water.
