If you dilute 10.0mL of the stock solution to a final volume of 0.350L , what will be the concentration of the diluted solution?
To find the concentration of the diluted solution, you can use the formula:
C1V1 = C2V2
Where:
C1 = concentration of the stock solution
V1 = volume of the stock solution
C2 = concentration of the diluted solution
V2 = volume of the diluted solution
Given:
C1 = concentration of stock solution = unknown
V1 = volume of stock solution = 10.0 mL = 0.010 L
C2 = concentration of diluted solution = unknown
V2 = volume of diluted solution = 0.350 L
We can rearrange the formula to solve for C2:
C2 = (C1 * V1) / V2
Substituting the known values, we get:
C2 = (C1 * 0.010 L) / 0.350 L
Therefore, the concentration of the diluted solution will depend on the concentration of the stock solution (C1).
To calculate the concentration of the diluted solution, we need to use the formula for dilution:
C1V1 = C2V2
Where:
- C1 = concentration of the stock solution
- V1 = volume of the stock solution used for dilution
- C2 = concentration of the diluted solution
- V2 = final volume of the diluted solution
In this case, we have the following known values:
- C1 = concentration of the stock solution (unknown)
- V1 = volume of the stock solution used for dilution = 10.0 mL = 0.010 L
- C2 = concentration of the diluted solution (unknown)
- V2 = final volume of the diluted solution = 0.350 L
Now, we can rearrange the formula to solve for C2:
C2 = (C1V1) / V2
Since we are given V1 and V2, we can substitute those values into the equation. However, we still need to find the value of C1 to calculate C2. Without additional information, we cannot determine the concentration of the stock solution.
Therefore, in order to find the concentration of the diluted solution, we need to know the concentration of the stock solution (C1).
