We want to prepare 150 mL of 1.0 M HA solution by diluting the stock 8.7 M HA solution with water. What volume of 8.7 M HA solution is needed?

mL x M = mL x M is the dilution formula.

To prepare 150 mL of 1.0 M HA solution, we will need to dilute the stock 8.7 M HA solution with water.

The formula for dilution is:

C1V1 = C2V2

Where:
C1 = initial concentration of the stock solution
V1 = volume of the stock solution to be used
C2 = final concentration of the diluted solution
V2 = final volume of the diluted solution

In this case:
C1 = 8.7 M (concentration of the stock solution)
V1 = volume of the stock solution to be used (unknown)
C2 = 1.0 M (desired final concentration)
V2 = 150 mL (final volume of the diluted solution)

Using the formula, we can calculate the volume of the stock solution needed:

(8.7 M)(V1) = (1.0 M)(150 mL)

Now, let's solve for V1:

V1 = (1.0 M)(150 mL) / 8.7 M

V1 = (1.0 * 150) / 8.7

V1 ≈ 17.24 mL

Therefore, you will need approximately 17.24 mL of the 8.7 M HA solution to prepare 150 mL of 1.0 M HA solution by dilution with water.

To determine the volume of 8.7 M HA solution needed to prepare 150 mL of 1.0 M HA solution, we can use the equation for dilution:

C1V1 = C2V2

Where:
C1 = initial concentration of the stock solution (8.7 M)
V1 = volume of the stock solution to be used (unknown)
C2 = final concentration of the diluted solution (1.0 M)
V2 = final volume of the diluted solution (150 mL)

We can rearrange the equation and solve for V1:

V1 = (C2 * V2) / C1

Substituting the given values:

V1 = (1.0 M * 150 mL) / 8.7 M

V1 ≈ 17.2 mL

Therefore, approximately 17.2 mL of the 8.7 M HA solution is needed to prepare 150 mL of 1.0 M HA solution.
