7.90E-5 x [116/(116+450)] = ?
Note: This assumes that the volumes are additive; i.e., that 116 mL + 450 mL really is 566 mL. Some solutions are not additive.
Answered by Steve
the volume has increased by a factor of (450+116)/116 = 4.879

so, the concentration has decreased by that same factor.

So, that makes it 7.90/4.879 * 10^-5 = 1.62*10^-5 M
