You want to clean a 500-ml flask that has been used to store a 0.9M solution. Each time the flask is emptied, 1.00 ml of solution adheres to the walls, and thus remains in the flask. For each rinse cycle, you pour 9.00 ml of solvent into the flask (to make 10.00 ml total), swirl to mix uniformly, and then empty it. What is the minimum number of such rinses necessary to reduce the residual concentration of 0.00001 M or below

Answer:

In the 5th cycle rinse, the residual concentration of the solution is < 0.00001M

Explanation:

In each rinse cycle, the dilution that you are doing of the solution is from 1.00mL to 10.00mL, that is a dilution of 10

In the first rinse the concentration must be of 0.9M  10 = 0.09M

2nd = 0.009M

3rd = 0.0009M

4th = 0.00009M

5th = 0.000009M →

In the 5th cycle rinse, the residual concentration of the solution is < 0.00001M
