Chapter 8, Problem 8.88AP

a.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The initial volume in liters that is required to prepare given solution.

Concept introduction:

The final concentration of diluted solution is always less than initial concentration of a stock solution, whereas final volume of diluted solution is more than that of initial volume of a concentrated solution. Stock solution is the concentrated solution prepared from a solute and solvent. It is diluted further to prepare the actual solution with high accuracy.

In the given problem, final volume and two concentrations are given. The initial volume of solution is calculated by the formula,

$V_{\text{initial}}=\frac{C_{\text{final}}\times V_{\text{final}}}{C_{\text{initial}}}$
