Question

What is the new concentration of a solution of CaSO3 if 10.0 mL of a 2.0 M CaSO3 solution is diluted to 100 ml?

Answer 1

Answer: The new concentration of a solution of $CaSO_{3}$ is 0.2 M 10.0 mL of a 2.0 M $CaSO_{3}$ solution is diluted to 100 mL.

Explanation:

Given: $V_{1}$ = 10.0 mL,      $M_{1}$ = 2.0 M

$V_{2}$ = 100 mL,           $M_{2}$ = ?

Formula used to calculate the new concentration is as follows.

$M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}$

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}\\10.0 mL \times 2.0 M = M_{2} \times 100 mL\\M_{2} = 0.2 M$

Thus, we can conclude that the new concentration of a solution of $CaSO_{3}$ is 0.2 M 10.0 mL of a 2.0 M $CaSO_{3}$ solution is diluted to 100 mL.
