Solution A is 2.40M. 20mLs of solution A is transferred to a 250mL volumetric flask and diliuted to volume with water. What is the concentration of the diluted solution?
mL1 x M1 = mL2 x M2
To find the concentration of the diluted solution, we need to calculate the new concentration by considering the dilution factor.
First, let's calculate the dilution factor:
Dilution factor = (final volume)/(initial volume)
Given:
Initial volume of solution A = 20 mL
Final volume in the volumetric flask = 250 mL
Dilution factor = 250 mL / 20 mL
Dilution factor = 12.5
Next, we need to consider the dilution factor to calculate the concentration of the diluted solution:
Concentration of the diluted solution = (concentration of solution A) / (dilution factor)
Given:
Concentration of solution A = 2.40 M
Concentration of the diluted solution = 2.40 M / 12.5
Concentration of the diluted solution = 0.192 M
Therefore, the concentration of the diluted solution is 0.192 M.
