The process in which the concentration of the solution is lessened by the addition of water is said to be dilution and equation of dilution relates the initial concentration and volume of stock solution with the final concentration and volume of the solution.
Formula is given by:
(1)
where,
is the initial concentration
is the initial volume
is the final concentration
is the final volume
Now,
= 0.850 M
= 4.12 L
=?
= 10.00 L
Substitute the give values in formula (1),
=
Thus, the final concentration of the solution =
