Question

A chemist must dilute of aqueous aluminum chloride solution until the concentration falls to . He'll do this by adding distilled water to the solution until it reaches a certain final volume. Calculate this final volume, in liters. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.257 L

Explanation:

The values missing in the question has been assumed with common sense so  that the concept could be applied

Initial volume of the AICI3 solution $=23.1 \mathrm{mL}$

Initial Molarity of the solution $=833 \mathrm{mM}$

Final molarity of the solution $=75.0 \mathrm{mM}$

Final volume of the solution $=?$

From Law of Dilution, $M_{f} V_{f}=M_{i} V_{i}$

$\Rightarrow V_{f}=\frac{M_{i} V_{i}}{M_{f}}=\frac{833 \mathrm{mM} \times 23.1 \mathrm{mL}}{75.0 \mathrm{mM}}=256.564 \mathrm{mL}=0.256564 \mathrm{L}=0.257 L$

Final Volume of the solution $=0.257$
