Calculate the following quantity:

Molarity of a solution prepared by diluting 37.00 mL of 0.250 M potassium chloride to 150.00 mL

Answer 1

Use M1V1 = M2V2 when setting up a dilution problem.

Answer 2

M for molar and V for volume

Answer 3

Um would it be like this: 37.00 x 0.250 = 150.00 x 0.250 ???

Answer 4

no
M1V1 and M2V2 are separate
M1is 0.250 and V1 is 37.00 mL

150.00 mL is V2 and you are solving for Molarity which is M2

(0.250)(37.00 mL) = M2(150.00 mL)
solve for M2 now

Answer 5

A diluted 37.00 mL of 0.250 M potassium chloride is prepared. That's for M1 and V1.

What would be the molarity of a solution by diluting 150.0 ml of potassium chloride? That would be the separate measurement, we already know what's the volume (V2) but we are calculating for molarity (M2)
