You transfer a 2M stock solution of Y into a container using a slightly wet pipet containing water drops. The concentration of the transferred solution Y has a ?
(lower, higher, or same) concentration than(as) 2M.
Let's see. The pipet has 2 M stock solution in it PLUS some water so it isn't quite 2 M is it?
To determine the concentration of the transferred solution Y, we need to consider the dilution that occurred during the transfer process.
When you transfer the 2M stock solution of Y into a container using a pipet containing water drops, the water drops will mix with the stock solution, resulting in a diluted solution.
If we assume that the volume of water drops is negligible compared to the volume of the stock solution, we can approximate the concentration of the transferred solution Y as being slightly lower than 2M. This is because the water drops will effectively dilute the stock solution, reducing the overall concentration of Y.
However, if the volume of water drops is significant compared to the volume of the stock solution, then the concentration of the transferred solution Y could be further reduced, resulting in a lower concentration than 2M.
In conclusion, the transferred solution Y will have a lower concentration than 2M, assuming the volume of water drops is significant enough to cause dilution.
