To what volume should you dilute 50.5 of a 4.60 solution so that 30.0 of the diluted solution contains 3.30 of KI?
50.5 what?
4.60 what?
30.0 what?
3.30 what?
50.5 ml
4.60 mol KI
30.0 ml
3.30 g KI
To find the volume to which you should dilute the solution, we can use the concept of molarity and the formula for dilution.
First, let's write down the given information:
Initial volume (V1) = 50.5 mL
Initial concentration (C1) = 4.60 M
Final volume (V2) = 30.0 mL
Final concentration (C2) = 3.30 M
The formula for dilution is:
C1V1 = C2V2
Substituting the given values:
(4.60 M)(50.5 mL) = (3.30 M)(30.0 mL)
Now, let's solve for V1:
V1 = (3.30 M)(30.0 mL) / 4.60 M
V1 = 20.25 mL
Therefore, to achieve a final volume of 30.0 mL with a concentration of 3.30 M, you should dilute the 50.5 mL solution to a volume of 20.25 mL by adding an appropriate amount of solvent (such as water).
