Question

What volume of water would you add to 35.81 mL of 1.59 M acetic acid solution to make it a 0.97 M?

Answer 1

Answer: A volume of 58.69 mL of water would you add to 35.81 mL of 1.59 M acetic acid solution to make it a 0.97 M.

Explanation:

Given: $V_{1}$ = 35.81 mL,       $M_{1}$ = 1.59 M

$V_{2}$ = ?,               $M_{2}$ = 0.97 M

Formula used to calculate volume is as follows.

$M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}$

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}\\1.59 M \times 35.81 mL = 0.97 M \times V_{2}\\V_{2} = 58.69 mL$

Thus, we can conclude that a volume of 58.69 mL of water would you add to 35.81 mL of 1.59 M acetic acid solution to make it a 0.97 M.
