Question

1. How would you take 1L of an existing solution with a concentration of 1M and use it to make a new solution of 0.1 M? Be specific.
2. Would it be possible to easily create a 2 M solution from 100 mL of 1 M solution? Explain why or why not?

Answer 1

1. The dilution formula is \
c1v1 = c2v2
c = concn
v =volume.

2. You could make 2M from 1M by boiling away half the water.
