What volume (mL) of a 4.81 M lead nitrate solution must be diluted to 384 mL

Question

to make a 1.00 M
solution of lead nitrate?

Answer 1

Let V be the volume of the 4.81 M lead nitrate solution that needs to be diluted.

Using the formula for dilution:

M1V1 = M2V2

(4.81 M)V = (1.00 M)(384 mL)

4.81V = 384

V = 384 / 4.81

V ≈ 79.83 mL

Therefore, approximately 79.83 mL of the 4.81 M lead nitrate solution must be diluted to 384 mL to make a 1.00 M solution of lead nitrate.
