Answer:
0.667 L
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial volume (V₁) = 250 mL
Initial concentration (C₁) = 12 M
Final concentration (C₂) = 4.5 M
Final volume (V₂) =?
The final volume of the solution can be obtained by using the dilution formula as illustrated below:
C₁V₁ = C₂V₂
12 × 250 = 4.5 × V₂
3000 = 4.5 × V₂
Divide both side by 4.5
V₂ = 3000 / 4.5
V₂ = 667 mL
Finally, we shall convert 667 mL to L. This can be obtained as follow:
1000 mL = 1 L
Therefore,
667 mL = 667 mL × 1 L / 1000 mL
667 mL = 0.667 L
Thus, the volume of the solution prepared is 0.667 L
