Chapter 15, Problem 15.132QE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

$\text{pH}$ of solution that has been made after the addition of water to $\text{10 }\mathrm{mL}$ of $\text{14}\text{.8 }M\text{ KOH}$ until the final volume of solution is $\text{250 }\mathrm{mL}$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The dilution formula is given as follows:

  $M_1{V}_1=M_2{V}_2$        (1)

Here,

$M_1$ denotes the molarity of the solution before dilution.

$V_1$ denotes the volume of the solution before dilution.

$M_2$ denotes the molarity of solution after dilution.

$V_2$ denotes the volume of the solution after dilution.
