A chemist must dilute 73.9 mL of 400 mM aqueous sodium carbonate solution until the concentration falls to 125 mM . He'll do this by adding distilled water to the solution until it reaches a certain final volume. Calculate this final volume, in liters. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

The final volume of the solution will be 0.236 L.

Explanation:

Concentration of sodium carbonate solution before dilution = $M_1= 400 mM$

Volume of sodium carbonate solution before dilution = $V_1=73.9 mL$

Concentration of sodium carbonate solution after dilution = $M_2= 125 mM$

Volume of sodium carbonate solution after dilution = $V_2=?$

Dilution equation is given by:

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$

$V_2=\frac{M_1V_1}{M_2}$

$V_2=\frac{400 mM\times 73.9 mL}{125 mM}= 236.48 mL\approx 236 mL$

1 mL = 0.001 L

236 mL = 0.236 L

The final volume of the solution will be 0.236 L.

Define alkylenes and alkanes

lawyer [7]

Answer:

Alkylenes: any of the series of unsaturated hydrocarbons containing a triple bond, including acetylene.

alkanes: Alkanes are organic compounds that consist entirely of single-bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms and lack any other functional groups. Alkanes have the general formula CnH2n+2 and can be subdivided into the following three groups: the linear straight-chain alkanes, branched alkanes, and cycloalkanes.
