A chemist has a 2.0 M solution of copper (II) sulfate. Is he takes 400 mL of this solution and dilutes it with 1200 mL of water,
1 answer:
0.66 M is the accurate molarity of the new solution of volume of 1200 ml.
Explanation:
Data given:
molarity of copper(II) sulphate, Mconc.= 2M
volume of 2M solution taken Vconc. = 400 ml
volume taken for dilution, Vdilute = 1200 ml
molarity of the diluted solution, Mdilute =?
We will use the formula for dilution as
Mconc Vconc = Mdilute x V dilute (conc is concentrated)
putting the values in the equation:
2 x 400 = Mdilute x 1200
Mdilute =
Mdilute = 0.66 M
When the solution is diluted to the volume of 1200 ml its molarity changes to 0.66 M.

The equilibrium constant
Solution
The equilibrium constant is the value of the product in the equilibrium state of the substance in the right (product) divided by the substance in the left (reactant) with the exponents of each reaction coefficient
The equilibrium constant for reaction
pA + qB ⇒ mC + nD
So for the above reaction :
