In order to prepare very dilute solutions, a lab technician chooses to perform a series of dilutions instead of measuring a very
small mass. A solution was prepared by dissolving 0.360 g of KNO3 in enough water to make 500. mL of solution. A 10.0 mL sample of this solution was transferred to a 500.0-mL volumetric flask and diluted to the mark with water. Then 10.0 mL of the diluted solution was transferred to a 250.0-mL flask and diluted to the mark with water. What is the final concentration of the KNO3 solution? 7.91 × 10-9 M
5.70 × 10-6 M
2.85 × 10-6 M
7.12 × 10-3 M
1.42 × 10-4 M
