Question

If you needed to make 100 mL of a 0.2 M fruit drink solution from the 1.0 M fruit drink

Answer 1

Answer:

We take 20.0 mL of the 1.0 M fruit drink solution and then add 80.0 mL of water to make 100 mL of a 0.2 M fruit drink solution.

Explanation:

Using the rule that: the no. of millimoles of a solution before dilution is equal to the no. of millimoles of the solution after the dilution. (MV) before dilution = (MV) after dilution. M before dilution = 1.0 M, V before dilution = ??? mL. M after dilution = 0.2 M, V after dilution = 100 mL. ∴ V before dilution = (MV) after dilution / M before dilution = (0.2 M)(100 mL) / (1.0 M) = 20.0 mL. So, we take 20.0 mL of the 1.0 M fruit drink solution and then add 80.0 mL of water to  make 100 mL of a 0.2 M fruit drink solution
