What is the final volume in milliliters when 0.918 L of a 44.0 % (m/v) solution is diluted to 21.8 % (m/v) ?

1852.844 mL

Explanation:

The volume of 44% solution used to make the mixture = 0.918 L

Let the volume of 21.8% solution used to make the mixture = x L

For 44% acid solution:

C₁ = 44%, V₁ = 0.918 L

For 21.8% acid solution:

C₂ = 21.8%, V₂ = x L

Using

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

44*0.918 = 21.8*x

Solving for x, we get:

x = 1.852844 L

Final volume in mL as:

1 L = 1000 mL

Thus, final volume = 1852.844 mL
