First, find the volume the solution needs to be diluted to in order to have the desired molarity:
You have to use the equation M₁V₁=M₂V₂ when ever dealing with dilutions.

M₁=the starting concentration of the solution (in this case 2.6M)
V₁=the starting volume of the solution (in this case 0.035L)
M₂=the concentration we want to dilute to (in this case 1.2M)
V₂=the volume of solution needed for the dilution (not given)

Explaining the reasoning behind the above equation:
MV=moles of solute (in this case KCl) because molarity is the moles of solute per Liter of solution so by multiplying the molarity by the volume you are left with the moles of solute.  The moles of solute is a constant since by adding solvent (in this case water) the amount of solute does not change.  That means that M₁V₁=moles of solute=M₂V₂ and that relationship will always be true in any dilution.

Solving for the above equation:
V₂=M₁V₁/M₂
V₂=(2.6M×0.035L)/1.2M
V₂=0.0758 L
That means that the solution needs to be diluted to 75.8mL to have a final concentration of 1.2M.

 Second, Finding the amount of water needed to be added:
Since we know that the volume of the solution was originally 35mL and needed to be diluted to 75.8mL to reach the desired molarity, to find the amount of solvent needed to be added all you do is V₂-V₁ since the difference in the starting volume and final volume is equal to the volume of solvent added.
75.8mL-35mL=40.8mL
40.8mL of water needs to be added

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
Good luck on your quiz!

There are always attractive forces between a collection of atoms or molecules which may not be negligible as suggested by the ki
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Negligible

Explanation:

According to the kinetic theory of gases, the degree of intermolecular interaction between gases is minimal and gas molecules tend to spread out and fill up the volume of the container.

If the attraction between gas molecules increases, then the volume of the gas decreases accordingly. This is because, gas molecules become highly attracted to each other.

This intermolecular attractive force may be so strong, such that the actual volume of the gas become negligible compared to the volume of the container.

If you have 35 ml of gas in a closed container under 1.23 atm of pressure, what will the volume be if the pressure increased to
Over [174]

Answer:

New volume is 14.35 mL

Explanation:

When a system of a gas keeps on constant its temperature and number of moles, the pressure is modified indirectly proportional to the volume:

Pressure increased → Volume decreased

Pressure decreased → Volume increased.

The relation you have to apply is: P₁ . V₁ = P₂. V₂

1.23 atm . 35 mL = 3 atm . V₂

(1.23 atm . 35 mL / 3 atm)  = V₂

V₂ = 14.35 mL

What is the mass of a liquid that has a volume of 50.0ml and a density of 2.40g/ml?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

120g Using Density Equation.

Explanation:

Density =mass/volume

We need to the solve for the mass.

Mass=Density * Volume

Mass= 2.40 g/ml * 50.0 ml = 120g

A lab technician mixes a 0.730 M solution of sodium bromide (NaBr) and water. The volume of the solution is 135 milliliters.
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

We need 10.14 grams of sodium bromide to make a 0.730 M solution

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molarity of the sodium bromide (NaBr) = 0.730 M

Volume of the sodium bromide solution = 135 mL = 0.135 L

Molar mass sodium bromide (NaBr) = 102.89 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles NaBr

Moles NaBr = Molarity NaBr * volume NaBr

Moles NaBr = 0.730 M * 0.135 L

Moles NaBr = 0.09855 moles

Step 3: Calculate mass of NaBr

Mass NaBr = 0.09855 moles * 102.89 g/mol

Mass NaBr = 10.14 grams

We need 10.14 grams of sodium bromide to make a 0.730 M solution
