Answer:
To 318.18 mL would you need to dilute 20.0 mL of a 1.40 M solution of LiCN to make a 0.0880 M solution of LiCN
Explanation:
Dilution is the reduction of the concentration of a chemical in a solution and consists simply of adding more solvent.
In a dilution the amount of solute does not vary. But as more solvent is added, the concentration of the solute decreases, as the volume (and weight) of the solution increases.
In a solution it is fulfilled:
Ci* Vi = Cf* Vf
where:
In this case:
Replacing:
1.40 M* 20 mL= 0.088 M* Vf
Solving:
[tex]Vf=\frac{1.40 M* 20 mL}{0.088 M}[/tex]
Vf= 318.18 mL
To 318.18 mL would you need to dilute 20.0 mL of a 1.40 M solution of LiCN to make a 0.0880 M solution of LiCN
