Chemistry Dilution Exercises

The document discusses dilution and provides a formula for calculating the concentration of a diluted solution. It gives examples of using the formula to calculate the volume of stock solution needed to make a solution of a given concentration and volume, or to calculate the final concentration when given volumes are mixed. Sample problems demonstrate applying the formula and provide the answers.

Dilution
When additional solvent is added to a sample of given concentration, the concentration of the solution will
decrease. This process is referred to as ​dilution​. Since the amount of solute (i.e. moles) stays the same during
dilution, the new concentration of the solution can be found using the formula below. The initial concentrated
solution is often referred to as the ​stock solution​.

Where c​1​ = initial concentration c​2​ = final concentration


V​1​ = initial volume V​2​ = final volume

Sample Problem:
A stock solution of 5.00 M of NaCl is available. How many milliliters are needed to make a 100.0 mL of 0.750 M?
Solution:
c​1​ = 5.00 M V​1​=? c​2​ = 0.750 M V​2​ = 100.0 mL
c1 V 1 = c2 V 2
c2 V 2
V1 = c1
(0.750 M )(100.0 mL)
V1 = 5.00 M
V 1 = 15.0 mL
Therefore 15.0 mL of the stock solution is required.
