What volume of concentrated nitric acid (15.0M) is requiredfor

the preperation of 2.00 L of 0.001 M nitric acidsolution.

0.133 mL

Explanation:

Given data

Initial concentration (C₁) : 15.0 M Initial volume (V₁) : to be determined Final concentration (C₂) : 0.001 M Final volume (V₂) : 2.00 L

We can find the volume of the concentrated solution using the dilution rule.

C₁ * V₁ = C₂ * V₂

V₁ = C₂ * V₂ / C₁

V₁ = 0.001 M * 2.00 L / 15.0 M

V₁ = 1.33 * 10⁻⁴ L = 0.133 mL
