What is the final concentration when 25ml of 0.500 m hcl is diluted to 500ml
You need to learn that hcl is not HCl. IF you mean 0.500 M (which is not the same as 0.500 m), then
M x mL = = M x mL.
To determine the final concentration when a solution is diluted, you can use the formula:
C1V1 = C2V2
where:
C1 = initial concentration
V1 = initial volume
C2 = final concentration
V2 = final volume
In this case, we are given:
C1 = 0.500 M (the initial concentration of HCl)
V1 = 25 mL (the initial volume of HCl)
V2 = 500 mL (the final volume after dilution)
Rearranging the formula, we have:
C2 = (C1 * V1) / V2
Substituting the given values:
C2 = (0.500 M * 25 mL) / 500 mL
Now, let's calculate it:
C2 = 0.025 M
Therefore, the final concentration after dilution of 25 mL of 0.500 M HCl to 500 mL is 0.025 M.
