Can someone please explain this problem step by step.

How would you prepare 1000.0ml of 0.600M NaOH solution starting from concentration of 1.000M

The dilution formula is

c1v1 = c2v2
1.000*v = 0.600*1000
v = 600.
Take 600 mL of the 1.000M and dilute to 1000 mL.

To prepare a 1000.0 mL of 0.600 M NaOH solution starting from a concentration of 1.000 M, you need to dilute the 1.000 M solution by adding water. The steps to prepare the solution are as follows:

Step 1: Determine the volume of the concentrated solution required. To do this, you can use the dilution formula:

C1V1 = C2V2

Where:
C1 = initial concentration (1.000 M)
V1 = initial volume (unknown)
C2 = final concentration (0.600 M)
V2 = final volume (1000.0 mL)

Rearranging the formula, we get:

V1 = (C2 * V2) / C1

Plugging in the values:

V1 = (0.600 M * 1000.0 mL) / 1.000 M
V1 = 600 mL

So, you will need 600 mL of the 1.000 M NaOH solution.

Step 2: Measure out 600 mL of the 1.000 M NaOH solution using a graduated cylinder or a pipette.

Step 3: Add the measured 600 mL of the 1.000 M NaOH solution to a clean and dry container.

Step 4: Add distilled water to the container until the total volume reaches 1000.0 mL. You can do this by using a graduated cylinder or a volumetric flask to add the appropriate amount of water.

Step 5: Thoroughly mix the solution to ensure that the NaOH is fully dissolved.

After following these steps, you will have successfully prepared 1000.0 mL of 0.600 M NaOH solution.
