What is the molarity of a hydrochloric acid solution prepared by diluting 200.0 mL of 0.500 M HCl to a total volume of 1.00 L?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molarity after dilution can be calculated using the formula $M_1V_1 = M_2V_2$, where $M_1$ and $V_1$ are the molarity and volume of the initial solution, and $M_2$ and $V_2$ are the molarity and volume of the final solution. Substituting the given values: $0.500 \, M \times 0.200 \, L = M_2 \times 1.00 \, L$, solving for $M_2$ gives $M_2 = 0.100 \, M$.
