You have 100 mL of solution with a concentration of 150 mol
You have 100 mL of solution with a concentration of 1.50 mol L-1. You pipette 10 mL of this solution to a 50 mL volumetric flask and top up the rest with water to the 50 mL mark. What is the concentration of the diluted solution?
Select one:
a. 0.75 mol L-1
b. 1.50 mol L-1
c. 0.30 mol L-1
d. 0.15 mol L-1
Solution
Concentration = 150/100 mL
Hence in 10mL quantity of concentratin = 150*10/100 = 15 mol
Water added = 40 mL
Hence new concentration = 15/(40+10) = 0.30 mol/litre
Hence option C is the answer
