A stock solution is made by dissolving 66 point 0 5 g of open paren NH sub 4 close paren sub 2 SO sub 4 in enough water to make 250 milliliters of solution. cap A 10 point 0 mL sample of this solution is then diluted to 50 point 0 milliliters Given that the molar mass of open paren NH sub 4 close paren sub 2 SO sub 4 is 132 point 1 g/mol , what is the concentration of the new solution? Use cap m sub i cap v sub i is equal to cap m sub f cap v sub f and molarity is equal to moles of solute over liters of solution
First find the stock solution’s molarity: 66.05 g ÷ 132.1 g/mol = 0.500 mol, and 0.500 mol ÷ 0.250 L = 2.00 M. Then use MᵢVᵢ = M𝒻V𝒻: (2.00 M)(10.0 mL) = M𝒻(50.0 mL), giving M𝒻 = 0.400 M. The new solution’s concentration is 0.400 M, choice C.
