Answer:
d . The volume of the solvent used was less than 5 liters.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to calculate the volume of the stock (initial) solution by using the following equation:
[tex]M_1V_1=M_2V_2[/tex]
Thus, we solve for, V1, which stands for the aforementioned volume of stock solution:
[tex]V_1=\frac{M_2V_2}{M_1}[/tex]
Then, we plug in to obtain:
[tex]V_1=\frac{5L*1M}{10M}\\\\V_1=0.5L[/tex]
Now, since the final volume was 5 L, we can infer that the volume of solvent is 4.5 L and that of the stock solution 0.5 L for a total of 5 L of diluted solution; therefore, the correct reasoning is d . The volume of the solvent used was less than 5 liters.
