Answer 1

Answer:

5.37 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L

Explanation:

A chemist makes 660. mL of magnesium fluoride working solution by adding distilled water to 230. mL of a 0.00154 mol/L stock solution of magnesium fluoride in water. Calculate the concentration of the chemist's working solution. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

Step 1: Given data

• Initial concentration (C₁): 0.00154 mol/L

• Initial volume (V₁): 230. mL

• Final concentration (C₂): ?

• Final volume (V₂): 660. mL

Step 2: Calculate the concentration of the final solution

We want to prepare a dilute solution from a concentrated one. We can calculate the concentration of the final solution using the dilution rule.

C₁ × V₁ = C₂ × V₂

C₂ = C₁ × V₁ / V₂

C₂ = 0.00154 mol/L × 230. mL / 660. mL = 5.37 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L
