15 POINTS PLEASE HELP What volume of water must be added to 35mL of 2.6m KCl to reduce its concentration to 1.2m? Please explain

, as I have a quiz on this tomorrow and I really don't get this. Thanks so much!!

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!

Consider the first-order reaction shown here. the yellow spheres in the pictures to the right represent the reactant,
Luda [366]
The rate constant of the reaction K we can get it from this formula:

K=㏑2/ t1/2 and when we have this given (missing in question):
that we have one jar is labeled t = 0 S and has 16 yellow spheres inside and the jar beside it labeled t= 10 and has 8 yellow spheres and 8 blue spheres and the yellow spheres represent the reactants A and the blue represent the products B

So when after 10 s  and we were having 16 yellow spheres as reactants and becomes 8 yellow and 8 blue spheres as products so it decays to the half amount so we can consider T1/2 = 10 s
a) by substitution in K formula:
∴ K = ㏑2 / 10 = 0.069 
The amount of A (the reactants) after N half lives = Ao / 2^n
b) so no.of yellow spheres after 20 s (2 half-lives) =  16/2^2 = 4
and the blue spheres = Ao - no.of yellow spheres left = 16 - 4 = 12
c) The no.of yellow spheres after 30 s (3 half-lives) = 16/2^3 = 2
and the blue spheres = 16 - 2 = 14

If a solution is saturated, which of these is true?
Fiesta28 [93]
If a solution is saturated, that means it already posses the maximum number of solutes thus have been dissolved in it, and thus the concentration cannot be increased.

Question 5 (1 point)
Marianna [84]

Answer:

P=12.16 atm

Explanation:

Using the formula of ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

P= nRT/V

 n= number of moles

 R= Avogadro constant = 0.0821

 T= Temperature in K => ºC + 273.15 K

P= (1.50 moles)(0.0821)( 296.15 K)/ 3.00L

P= 12.15
