you wish to make 0.357m nitric acid from a stock solution of 3.00m nitric acid. how much concentrated acid must you add to obtain a total volume of 150ml of the dilute solution

Sagot :

17.85 mL of 3.0 M stock solution of nitric acid is needed to make a 150 mL 0.357 M nitric acid.

The dilution of a stock solution can be solved by using the formula below, which indicates that the concentration of the solution changes but the number of moles of the solute remains the same.

(concentration of stock solution)(volume of stock solution) = (concentration of diluted solution)(volume of diluted solution)

Given:

  • Stock solution: 3.0 M nitric acid
  • Diluted solution: 150 mL of 0.357 M nitric acid

(3.0 M)(volume of stock solution)=(0.357 M)(150 mL)

volume of stock solution = [(0.357 M)(150 mL)] / (3.0 M)

volume of stock solution = 17.85 mL
