Question

You have to make 500 mL of a 1.50 M BaCl2. You have 2.0 M barium chloride solution available. Determine how to make the needed dilution

Answer 1

Answer:

You need 375 mL of BaCl2 solution.

Explanation:

M1V1=M2V2

Dilution formula. Substitute known values and solve for V1.

M1 = 2.0 M

M2 = 1.50 M

V2 = 500 mL

(2.0 M)(V1) = (1.50 M)(500 mL)

V1 = (1.50 M)(500 mL) / (2.0 M)

V1 = 375 mL
