What am I doing wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Didn't mean to hit enter.. oops A quantity of 65 mL sof a concentrated HCl solution is used to prepare .15 L of a 5.2 M solution. A _______ concentrated solution was used to prepare the .15 M solution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I took (.065 x 5.2) / .15 and got 2.25 ... but that isn't the right answer. :(

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

use N1V1=N2 V2 for tthat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isn't that what I did???

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

yaa i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, that's not right. & the next one after it is wrong too and I'm pretty sure I am right. :(

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

instead of 0.65 u should put 15 L their

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

is it 0.15 L or 15 L and 0.15 M or 15 molar its confusing please add ) before the decimal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then that just gives you 5.2 which is also not the right answer... That' what I startd doing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's 0.15 L of 5.2 M solution and 0.15M

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh and the answer is 12 M ? which doesn't make sense to me because isn't the missing information x mL? or L

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

yaaa tooo think the same

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

A =b =C P=q =X X=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What?!

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

te way to solve it a,bc are known p is known but q is missing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I've never heard of that =/

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

5.2 M =0.15 L =65ml 0.15M= missing =X can u recheck the question X=missing*5.2 /0.15*0.15 *65

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

for example 40 g in 1000 ml gives 1M 4 g in 50 ml gives what =50*40/4*1000 *1 =0.5M it like this kind of problem solving method but u have missed on quantity in ur question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Idk ... I typed it exactly as it says on the practice test
