We need an equation that would relate the concentration of the original solution to that of the desired solution. To solve this we use the equation expressed as follows,
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.
M1V1 = M2V2
0.266 M x V1 = 0.075 M x 150 mL
V1 = 42.29 mL
Therefore, we need about 42.29 mL of the 0.266 M of lithium nitrate solution to make 150.0 mL of the 0.075 M lithium nitrate solution.
the answer to this is D) They are all the same size
