What volume of 6.0 M HCL do you need to make 230 mL of 2.0 M HCl?

Question

anonymous · Answer

I tried using M1V1=M2V2 but I realized it was not the right choice of equation

anonymous · Answer

right, but are moles relevant in this problem? sorry it's been a while since this unit.

anonymous · Answer

I'm still lost

anonymous · Answer

would you share the numbers you plug in, i mean, the steps and the answer you got?

anonymous · Answer

I still have nothing, and I understand the video but it didn't go over this type of problem

anonymous · Answer

nevermind, my original equation was correct.  The volume of 6 M HCl needed is 76.67 mL.  I thought this was wrong because it is less than 230 mL, but I forgot that there is also water in the final solution.
