Answer: Thus the final concentration is 0.236 M
Explanation:
According to moalrity equation:
[tex]M_1V_1=M_2V_2[/tex]
[tex]M_1[/tex] = Molarity of stock solution = 1.60 M
[tex]V_1[/tex] = volume of stock solution = 75.0 ml
[tex]M_2[/tex] = molaity of diluted solution = ?
[tex]V_2[/tex] = volume of diluted solution = 258 ml
[tex]1.60\times 75.0=M_2\times 258[/tex]
[tex]M_2=0.465M[/tex]
For second dilution:
[tex]M_1V_1=M_2V_2[/tex]
[tex]M_1[/tex] = Molarity of stock solution = 0.465 M
[tex]V_1[/tex] = volume of stock solution = 129 ml
[tex]M_2[/tex] = molaity of diluted solution = ?
[tex]V_2[/tex] = volume of diluted solution = (129+125) = 254 ml
[tex]0.465\times 129=M_2\times 254[/tex]
[tex]M_2=0.236M[/tex]
Thus the final concentration is 0.236 M
