Answer:
1. V₁ = 2.0 mL
2. V₁ = 2.5 mL
Explanation:
You are provided with a stock solution with a concentration of 1.0 × 10⁻⁵ M. You will be using this to make two standard solutions via serial dilution.
To calculate the volume required (V₁) in each dilution we will use the dilution rule.
C₁ . V₁ = C₂ . V₂
where,
C are the concentrations
V are the volumes
1 refers to the initial state
2 refers to the final state
1. Perform calculations to determine the volume of the 1.0 × 10⁻⁵ M stock solution needed to prepare 10.0 mL of a 2.0 × 10⁻⁶ M solution.
C₁ . V₁ = C₂ . V₂
(1.0 × 10⁻⁵ M) . V₁ = (2.0 × 10⁻⁶ M) . 10.0 mL
V₁ = 2.0 mL
2. Perform calculations to determine the volume of the 2.0 × 10⁻⁶ M solution needed to prepare 10.0 mL of a 5.0 × 10⁻⁷ M solution.
C₁ . V₁ = C₂ . V₂
(2.0 × 10⁻⁶ M) . V₁ = (5.0 × 10⁻⁷ M) . 10.0 mL
V₁ = 2.5 mL
