Of an 8 M solution of HCI, 1 L is diluted to 2 M. What is the volume of the diluted
solution?


Sagot :

Answer: The volume of diluted solution is 4 L

Explanation:

According to the dilution law,

[tex]M_1V_1=M_2V_2[/tex]

where,  

[tex]M_1[/tex] = molarity of stock [tex]HCl[/tex] solution = 8 M

[tex]V_1[/tex] = volume of stock [tex]HCl[/tex] solution = 1 L  

[tex]M_1[/tex] = molarity of diluted [tex]HCl[/tex] solution = 2 M

[tex]V_1[/tex] = volume of diluted [tex]HCl[/tex] solution = ?

Putting in the values we get:

[tex]8M\times 1L=2M\times V_2[/tex]

[tex]V_2=4L[/tex]

Therefore, volume of diluted solution is 4 L
