Chapter 16, Problem 88E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concentration of the hydroiodic acid solution prepared by diluting $\text{14}\text{.4}\text{mL}$ of a $\text{0}\text{.791}\text{M}$ hydroiodic acid with $\text{54}\text{.6}\text{mL}$ of water is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of solution. This can be expressed by the relation given below.

$\text{M}=\frac{\text{n}}{\text{V}\left(\text{in L}\right)}$

On dilution, the molarity and the volume of the final solution are calculated by the relation given below.

${\text{M}}_{\text{c}}{\text{V}}_{\text{c}}={\text{M}}_{\text{d}}{\text{V}}_{\text{d}}$
