one has been supplied with 20mL of a 3.5M NaOH solution. If one requires a 0.35M NaOH solution, what volume of diluent would be need to be added to the provided sample

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Welcome to OpenStudy @hena5 !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maybe this should be in Chemistry.

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Use n1V1=n2V2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or what @wolfe8 said.

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Hmm. It's m1V1=m2V2 actually where m is the molarity

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Notation mistake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so far i haven't gotten a question like this in chemistry yet, this has been a biology question

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Odd. What topic are you getting it in? Either way, can you solve it now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is so confusing

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

I'm walking you through it very slowly there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:(

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Keep trying. When you get it you'll remember it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c1v1=c2v2 c1=20mL, v1=3.5=c2=0.35, and v2? is unknown

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Yup. That's what you're looking for.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(20)(3.5(0.35)=24.5

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Btw you switched c1 and V1 there. Why did you multiply everything... It's V2=c1V1/c2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

200?

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Yes. Now that is the final volume of the solution. You already have 20. How much are you adding to it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

200-20?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180mL

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omggggggggg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thankkkk you :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is such a relief

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

See you can do it. It's confusing at first but you'll get used to it. You're welcome and good job. Just don't give up when learning anything.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh man u are such a great help i asked a tutor at school he wasn't as helpful as you

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

My back hurts

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

I mean, thanks. I try to help as much as I can. I like sharing knowledge.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

awh get some rest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have another question but ill let u go and try to figure it out

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Ok well tag me if you need help. I'll be on for a bit.
