Question

​If 250.0 mL of a 0.96 M solution of acetic acid (C 2H 4O 2) are diluted to 800.0 mL, what will be the approximate molarity of the final solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.30M HOAc

Explanation:

Given 250.0ml (0.96M HOAc) => 800ml(??M HOAc)

Use the dilution equation...

(Molarity x Volume)concentrated soln = (Molarity x Volume)dilute soln

(0.96M)(250.0ml) = (Molarity diluted soln)(800ml)

Molarity diluted soln = (0.96M)(250.0ml)/(800ml) = 0.30M HOAc
