A chemical supply company sells sulfuric acid (H2SO4) in a concentration of 4.00 M. What volume of this solution would you need to make 12.0 mL of a 0.50 M H2SO4 solution?

Use the dilution equation M1V1 = M2V2.

Solve for V1: V1 = (M2 × V2) / M1 = (0.50 M × 12.0 mL) / 4.00 M = 1.50 mL.

With correct significant figures (0.50 has 2 s.f.), report 1.5 mL of the 4.00 M acid, then dilute to a final volume of 12.0 mL. (Remember: add acid to water, not water to acid.)
