If 4.0 L of a 4.8 M SrCl2 solution is diluted to 50 L , what is the molarity of the diluted solution?
To find the molarity of the diluted solution, we can use the equation:
M1V1 = M2V2
Where:
M1 = initial molarity of the solution
V1 = initial volume of the solution
M2 = final molarity of the solution
V2 = final volume of the solution
In this case, M1 = 4.8 M, V1 = 4.0 L, V2 = 50 L, and we need to solve for M2.
So, let's plug in the values into the equation:
(4.8 M)(4.0 L) = M2(50 L)
Simplifying the equation:
19.2 mol = M2(50 L)
Divide both sides of the equation by 50 L to find M2:
M2 = 19.2 mol / 50 L
Calculating the value:
M2 ≈ 0.384 M
Therefore, the molarity of the diluted solution is approximately 0.384 M.
