Question
I was wondering if at all possible you could show me how to figure out this problem. The question is : How much water must be added to 150 mL of 6(M) HCl to produce .1 molar HCl? I am completely lost, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
As per the instructions, please do not ask me any questions related to schoolwork (of any kind) after this. I will not answer them.
the equation is M1V1 = M2V2
where M1 is the initial molarity (or any concentration units) and V1 is the initial volume
where M2 is the final molarity (or any concentration units) and V2 is the final volume
In this case you know M1, V1, and M2 so solve for V2. Note V2 is the total final volume. The questions ask how much water you have to add, so the final answer is (V2-V1).
Note when you use this equation the M's have to be in the same units and the V's have to be in the same units.
If you just want homework help, use http://answers.yahoo.com/ Note that some of the answers you get there are not from experts, so buyer beware. You can get bad information.
