Question

To what volume should you dilute 150.0 ml of an aqueous 4.00 M potassium phosphate solution so that the final solution is 1.00 M?

		1,200 mL
		200 mL
		0.0267 L
		600 mL
		0.150 L

Expert Solution

Step 1

The process of dilution is defined as the process in which a solution with a lower concentration is prepared from a solution with the higher concentration by adding an appropriate amount of water.

When a dilute solution is made, more solvent is added. The number of moles of the solute does not change, what changes is the concentration.

The dilution equation is,

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

M₁ and V₁ are the molar concentration and volume of the initial concentrated solution.
M₂ and V₂ are the molar concentration and volume of the final dilute solution.
