We wish to dilute some 18.4 m h2so4 solution to make 600 ml of a 0.1 m h2so4 solution. how much of the 18.4 m solution should we start with?

We can use the following formula when making diluted solutions from concentrated solutions

c1v1 = c2v2

where c1 is concentration and v1 is volume of the concentrated solution

and c2 is concentration and v2 is final volume of diluted solution

substituting the values in the equation

18.4 M x V = 0.1 M x 600 mL

V = 3.26 mL

volume of 3.26 mL of 18.4 M sulfuric acid solution should be taken and diluted upto 600 mL
