calculate the volume of 10.0 mol L-1 nitric acid solution required to prepare 500.0 mL of 0.500 mol L-1 solution

Question

danjs · Answer

been a while since chem, but isnt the dilution someting like

concentration 1 * Volume 1 = Concentration 2 * Volume 2

sweetburger · Answer

$$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$$

sweetburger · Answer

Make sure you have concentration in units of molarity (mol/L) and volume in units of Liters.

could you guys solve this now?

danjs · Answer

you use the formula from above, keeping units consistent, using liters
concentration 1 * Volume 1 = Concentration 2 * Volume 2

10.0 mol/L * (Volume 1) = 0.500 mol/L * 0.500 L

10.0 * V = 0.500 * 0.500
