If 0.250 L of a 5.90 M HNO₃ solution is diluted to 2.00 L, what is the molarity of the new solution?

Sagot :

Answer:

0.74 M

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Molarity of stock solution (M₁) = 5.90 M

Volume of stock solution (V₁) = 0.250 L

Volume of diluted solution (V₂) = 2 L

Molarity of diluted solution (M₂) =?

The molarity of the diluted solution can be obtained by using the dilution formula as illustrated below:

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

5.90 × 0.250 = M₂ × 2

1.475 = M₂ × 2

Divide both side by 2

M₂ = 1.475 / 2

M₂ = 0.74 M

Thus, the molarity of the diluted solution is 0.74 M
