Question

What is the molarity of a stock solution if 60 mL were used to make 150 mL of a .5M solution

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is 1.25 M

Explanation:

Data

Molarity 1 = ?

Volume 1 = 60 ml

Molarity 2 = 0.5 M

Volume 2 = 150 ml

Process

1.- Write the dilution formula

       Molarity 1 x Volume 1 = Molarity 2 x Volume 2

-Solve for Molarity 1

       Molarity 1 = Molarity 2 x Volume 2 / Volume 1

-Substitution

        Molarity 1 = (0.5)(150) / 60

-Simplification

        Molarity = 75 / 60

-Result

        Molarity = 1.25 M
