Chapter 12.5, Problem 59PP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Initial concentration of glucose solution in millilitres should be identified.

Concept introduction:

The amount of the solute in the new diluted solution is equal to the amount of the solute in the solution before dilution. i.e.

  ${\text{V}}_{\text{1}}{\text{C}}_{\text{1}}{\text{=V}}_{\text{2}}{\text{C}}_{\text{2}}$

concentrated = diluted

solution solution

This is the dilution expression.

Given:

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{Final volume of glucose solution : 500 mL}\\ \text{Final concentartion of glucose solution :}\text{5}\text{.0\% (m/v)}\\ \text{Initial concentration of glucose solution : 25\% (m/v)}\end{array}$
