Question

To what volume should you dilute 134 mL of an 8.00 M CuCl2 solution so that 48.0 mL of the diluted solution contains 5.89 g CuCl2? Express your answer in milliliters.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Number of moles of CuCl2 initially present = volume * molar concentration

= 0.134 * 8

= 1.072 mol.

Molar mass of CuCl2 = 63.5 + (2*35.5)

= 134.5 g/mol

Mass of CuCl2 = molar mass * number of moles

= 134.5 * 1.072

= 144.184 g

Mass of CuCl2 in 48 ml = 5.89 g in 48 ml

Volume = 5.89 * (48/144.184)

= 1.96 ml.
