Calculate the following quantity:

Volume in mL of 21.4 M cobalt(II) chloride solution that must be diluted with water to prepare 17 mL of an 51.5 M solution.
Calculate to 0 decimal places and do not include units. Also, do NOT use scientific notation.

1 answer

c1v1 = c2v2
concn x volume = concn x volume
But first, a question. How will you DILUTE 21.4 M to make it 51.5M. You DILUTE something to make it less concentrated, not more concentrated.
