Answer: It is true for the process used to achieve the required dilution that volume of the solvent used is less than 2 liters.
Explanation:
Given: [tex]M_{1}[/tex] = 10 M, [tex]V_{1}[/tex] = ?
[tex]M_{2}[/tex] = 1 M, [tex]V_{2}[/tex] = 2 L
The volume of stock solution is calculated as follows.
[tex]M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}\\10 M \times V_{1} = 1 M \times 2\\V_{1} = 0.2 L[/tex]
A solution which contains small amount of solute is called a dilute solution. Whereas a solution which contains more amount of solute is called a concentrated solution.
The stock solution is used for dilution and hence, it acts as a solvent. Its calculated volume is 0.2 L.
This means that volume of the solvent used is less than 2 liters.
Thus, we can conclude that it is true for the process used to achieve the required dilution that volume of the solvent used is less than 2 liters.
