Chapter 4.1, Problem 4.6BFP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The final molarity $\left(\text{g}/\text{mL}\right)$ of $500{\text{m}}^3$ diluted solution obtained from $25{\text{m}}^3$ of $7.50M$ sulfuric acid is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Dilution is the process of converting a concentrated solution into a dilute solution by adding the solvent. In the resultant solution, the amount of solute remains fixed but the volume of the solution increases. The moles of solute before and after dilution remain fixed.

The expression to calculate the molarity of diluted solution when molarity and volume of concentrated solution and volume of diluted solution are given is as follows:

$M_{\text{dil}}=\frac{M_{\text{conc}}{V}_{\text{conc}}}{V_{\text{dil}}}$
