<em>A chemist makes 330. mL of nickel(II) chloride working solution by adding distilled water to 220. mL of a 0.135 mol/L stock solution of nickel(II) chloride in water. Calculate the concentration of the chemist's working solution. Round your answer to significant digits.</em>
Step 1: Given data
Initial concentration (C₁): 0.135 mol/L
Initial volume (V₁): 220. mL
Final concentration (C₂): ?
Final volume (V₂): 330. mL
Step 2: Calculate the concentration of the final solution
We prepare a dilute solution from a concentrated one. We can calculate the concentration of the working solution using the dilution rule.
