A #75mL# volume of #0.211molL^-1# #NaOH# was diluted to #125mL#. What is the new concentration?

Answer 1

Owen Ambrose

Approx. #0.127*mol*L^-1#..............with respect to #NaOH#

#"Concentration"="Moles of solute"/"Volume of solution"#

And the only equation we require for these kinds of issues is this one:

#i.e. "moles of solute"="concentration"xx"volume"#

And thus.

#"Concentration of NaOH"=(75xx10^-3*cancelLxx0.211*mol*cancel(L^-1))/(125xx10^-3*L)=??*mol*L^-1.#

The new concentration of the solution can be calculated using the formula for dilution:

$C_1V_1 = C_2V_2$

Where:
$C_1$ = initial concentration of the solution (0.211 mol/L)
$V_1$ = initial volume of the solution (75 mL or 0.075 L)
$C_2$ = final concentration of the diluted solution
$V_2$ = final volume of the diluted solution (125 mL or 0.125 L)

$(0.211 \, \text{mol/L})(0.075 \, \text{L}) = C_2(0.125 \, \text{L})$

$C_2 = \frac{(0.211 \, \text{mol/L})(0.075 \, \text{L})}{0.125 \, \text{L}} = 0.1266 \, \text{mol/L}$

So, the new concentration of the solution is 0.1266 mol/L.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
