Question

25 ml of a salt solution at 2 M is diluted to 48 ml. Calculate the concentration of the new volume.

	A) 1.04 M
	B) 3.84 M
	C) 0.26 M
	D) 600 M

Answer 1

When you have a simple dilution problem, you can use the formula M1V1 = M2V2 where...

M1 is initial molarity

V1 is initial volume

M2 = final molarity

V2 = final volume

(25 ml)(2 M) = (48 ml)(x M)

x = 1.04 M (option A)
