The molar concentration of the saline solution is 0.43 mol/L.

Check Your Solution

The units are correct and the answer correctly shows two significant digits. The

dilution of the original concentrated solution is correct and the change to mol/L

seems reasonable.

51. Practice Problem (page 386)

Suppose that you are given a stock solution of 1.50 mol/L ammonium sulfate,

(NH4)2SO4(aq).

What volume of the stock solution do you need to use to prepare each of the

following solutions?

a. 50.0 mL of 1.00 mol/L (NH4)2SO4(aq)

b. 2 × 102 mL of 0.800 mol/L (NH4)2SO4(aq)

c. 250 mL of 0.300 mol/L NH4

+

(aq)

What Is Required?

You need to calculate the initial volume, V1, of (NH4)2SO4(aq) stock solution

needed to prepare each given dilute solution.
