Your teacher gives you 0.09 L of a 0.850 M solution of NaCl dissolved in water. What will the new volume be if you dilute it down to 0.500 M?

Answer:
[tex]V_2=0.153L[/tex]
Explanation:
Hey there!
In this case, according to the equation for dilution process, in which the moles of the solute remain the same after the addition of additional solvent:
[tex]M_1V_1=M_2V_2[/tex]
Thus, by solving for the new volume, V2, of the base, NaOH, we can obtain:
[tex]V_2=\frac{M_1V_1}{M_2}=\frac{0.09L*0.850M}{0.500M}\\\\V_2=0.153L[/tex]
Best regards!
