Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Box (2) represents 1.0 mL of the solution that results after (1) has been diluted by adding enough solvent to make 5.0 mL of solution. This is because the concentration of the solution in box (1) is 1.0 M, and the concentration of the solution in box (2) is 0.2 M. This means that the solution in box (2) has been diluted by a factor of 5, which is the same as adding enough solvent to make 5.0 mL of solution.
