0.16 M is the concentration of a solution prepared by diluting 20.0 ml of 2.00 M NaCl to 250.0 ml.
Explanation:
Data given:
Initial volume of NaCl, V1 = 20 ml
initial molarity of the NaCl solution = 2M
Final volume of the NaCl solution = 250 ml
final molarity of the diluted solution = ?
from the information given, the formula for dilution used is:
Minitial Vinitial = Mfinal Vfinal
putting the values in the rearranged equation:
V final =
V final =
Mfinal = 0.16 M
Thus it can be seen that when a 20 ml solution having molarity of 2M is diluted to 250 ml the molarity decreases to 0.16 M.
