In order to prepare a 0.0500 M NaOH solution, to what volume would you dilute 25.0 mL of 2.50 M NaOH?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dilution equation is:
C1V1 = C2V2
where C1 and V1 are the concentration and volume of the initial solution, and C2 and V2 are the concentration and volume of the diluted solution.

Plugging in the given values, we get:
2.50 M x 25.0 mL = 0.0500 M x V2
V2 = (2.50 M x 25.0 mL)/0.0500 M
V2 = 1250 mL or 1.25 L

Therefore, the correct answer is B.
