What is the molarity of a solution prepared by diluting 10.0 mL of 18.0 M HCl with enough water to make 500.0 mL of solution?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molarity of the diluted solution is calculated using the dilution formula M1V1 = M2V2, where M1 and V1 are the molarity and volume of the concentrated solution, and M2 and V2 are the molarity and volume of the diluted solution. Substituting the given values: (18.0 M)(10.0 mL) = (M2)(500.0 mL), solving for M2 gives M2 = (18.0 M)(10.0 mL) / (500.0 mL) = 0.360 M.
