Answer:
0.00268 M
Explanation:
To find the new molarity, you need to (1) find the moles of CuSO₄ (via the molarity equation using the beginning molarity and volume) and then (2) find the new molarity (using the moles and combined volume). Your final answer should have 3 sig figs to match the given values.
Step 1:
3.00 mL / 1,000 = 0.00300 L
Molarity = moles / volume (L)
0.0250 M = moles / 0.00300 L
(0.0250 M) x (0.00300 L) = moles
7.50 x 10⁻⁵ = moles
Step 2:
25.0 mL / 1,000 = 0.0250 L
0.0250 L + 0.00300 L = 0.0280 L
Molarity = moles / volume (L)
Molarity = (7.50 x 10⁻⁵ moles) / (0.0280 L)
Molarity = 0.00268 M
