Answer:
The concentration of the diluted solution is 3.75 M
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Volume of a stock solution = 75 mL = 0.075 L
The molarity of stock solution = 5.0 M
We add 25 mL, The total volume is 100 mL = 0.100 L
Step 2: Calculate the concentration of the diluted solution
C1*V1 = C2*V2
⇒with C1 = the initial concentration = 5.0 M
⇒with V1 = the initial volume = 0.075 L
⇒with C2 = the new concentration = TO BE DETERMINED
⇒with V2 = the diluted volume = 0.100 L
5.0 M * 0.075 L = C2 * 0.100L
C2 = (5.0M * 0.075 L) / 0.100 L
C2 = 3.75 M
The concentration of the diluted solution is 3.75 M
