Assume that you have a 20 M glycerol stick solution You need
Solution
The formula is C1V1 =C2V2
The concentration of the stock solution of glycerol, C1 is always the same.
Question 1: Preparation of 7.5 M glycerol solution
C1 = 20 M
V1 = ?
C2 = 7.5 M
V2 = 50 ml
Substituting the equation,
20 X V1 = 7.5 X 50
V1 = (7.5 X 50)/20
= 18.75 ml
Quantity of water needed to make up the solution = Total volume of the solution - Volume of stock solution
= 50 - 18.75
= 31.25 ml
Question 2: preparation of 2.5 M glycerol solution
C1 = 20 M
V1 = ?
C2 = 2.5 M
V2 = 50 ml
Substituting the equation,
20 X V1 = 2.5 X 50
V1 = (2.5 X 50)/20
= 6.25 ml
Quantity of water needed to make up the solution = Total volume of the solution - Volume of stock solution
= 50 - 6.25
= 43.75 ml
Similarly, other values can be worked out
C 2
V1 = (C2*V2)/ C1
V2 - V1 = 50 - V 1
