Describe how you would, in a chemistry lab, dilute a 1.0 M sodium chloride solution to 0.113 M. Treat it like writing a procedure.

Question

This answer should use words and calculations, and should include what kind of glassware you would use (there are many correct answers here).

Answer 1

The question didn't specify the volume of 0.113 M solution to make, so I'll choose to make 100 mls.

Calculations:

M1V1 = M2V2

(1.0 M)(x ml) = (0.113 M)(100 ml)

x = 11.3 mls

Procedure:

Use a pipet to measure 11.3 mls of the 1.0 M NaCl.

Place this into a 100 ml volumetric flask

Add d.H2O to the volumetric flask until the 100 ml mark is reached.
