Popeye wants to make a dilute spinach solution for Sweetpea's bottle. How much 3.0 M spinach solution should he add to the 500.0 mL bottle if he wants the final solution to be 0.30 M?

Respuesta :

Answer : The volume of 3.0 M spinach solution added should be, 50 mL

Explanation :

Formula used :

[tex]M_1V_1=M_2V_2[/tex]

where,

[tex]M_1\text{ and }V_1[/tex] are the initial molarity and volume of spinach solution.

[tex]M_2\text{ and }V_2[/tex] are the final molarity and volume of diluted spinach solution.

We are given:

[tex]M_1=3.0M\\V_1=?\\M_2=0.30M\\V_2=500.0mL[/tex]

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:

[tex]3.0M\times V_1=0.30M\times 500.0mL\\\\V_1=50mL[/tex]

Hence, the volume of 3.0 M spinach solution added should be, 50 mL
