Answer: The volume of stock solution needed is 62.5 mL
Explanation:
A solution consists of solute and solvent. A solute is defined as the component that is present in a smaller proportion while the solvent is defined as the component that is present in a larger proportion.
To calculate the volume of stock solution needed, the formula used is:
[tex]C_1V_1=C_2V_2[/tex] ....(1)
where,
[tex]C_1\text{ and }V_1[/tex] are the concentration and volume of stock solution.
[tex]C_2\text{ and }V_2[/tex] are the concentration and volume of diluted solution.
We are given:
[tex]C_1=3.00M\\V_1=?mL\\C_2=1.25M\\V_2=150mL[/tex]
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
[tex]3.00\times V_1=1.25\times 150\\\\V_1=\frac{1.25\times 150}{3.00}\\\\V_1=62.5mL[/tex]
Hence, the volume of stock solution needed is 62.5 mL
