Answer to Question #114590 in General Chemistry for Nicolas

Question

Using 10 ml of 12 M HCl stock solution, calculate the volume of water necessary to
create a 0.01 M solution of HCl. What is the final volume of the solution?

Answer 1

Given:

V₁=10mL, C₁=12 M, C₂=0.01 M

Find:

V₂ - ?

Solution:

Since the quantity of HCl remains the same after dillution C₁xV₁=C₂V₂

V₂= (C₁xV₁)/V₂=(12 M x 10mL)/0.01 M = 12 x 10³ mL

Answer:

The final volume of the solution is 12 x 10³ mL or 12 L.
