Question

Question: If 0.1718L of a 0.3556-M C₃H₇OH solution is diluted to a concentration of 0.1222M, what is the volume of the resulting solution?

Short answer

If 0.1718L of a 0.3556-MC₃H₇OH solution is diluted to a concentration of 0.1222M, the volume of the resulting solution is 0.4999L

Step-by-step solution

Summarize the data given

Data given are as follows:

Initial Volume of C₃H₇OHsolution, V₁= 0.1718L

Initial Molarity of C₃H₇OHsolution, M₁= 0.3556M

Final Molarity of C₃H₇OHsolution, M₂ = 0.1222M

To find:

Final Volume of C₃H₇OHsolution, V₂ =?

Determine the volume of the resulting solution 

Formula need to be used to solve the problem:

M₁V₁= M₂V₂

Substituting the equation, we get,

0.3556M × 0.1718L = 0.1222M × V₂

i.e., V₂ = 0.4999L
