If 850 mL of 1.36 M NH₄Cl is diluted to 4.50 L, the concentration of the resulting solution is ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concentration of the diluted solution can be calculated using the dilution formula $C_1V_1 = C_2V_2$, where $C_1$ and $V_1$ are the initial concentration and volume, and $C_2$ and $V_2$ are the final concentration and volume. Substituting the given values: $1.36 \, \text{M} \times 0.850 \, \text{L} = C_2 \times 4.50 \, \text{L}$. Solving for $C_2$ gives $C_2 = \frac{1.36 \times 0.850}{4.50} = 0.257 \, \text{M}$.
