If 125 mL of 0.56 MH2SO4, is diluted to a volume of 0.250 L, what is the molarity of the resulting solution?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.28M H2SO4

Explanation:

The molarity of a solution is defined as the ratio between the moles of the solute (In this case, H2SO4) and its volume in liters.

In the problem, the volume of the solution is increased from 125mL to 250mL. That means the solution is diluted:

250mL / 125mL = 2 times.

As the solution is diluted 2 times, the concentration is decreased in 2, that is:

0.56M / 2 =

0.28M H2SO4
