Answer:
25.7 mL
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Initial concentration (C₁): 0.350 M
- Final volume (V₂): 600 mL
- Final concentration (C₂): 0.150 M
Step 2: Calculate the volume of the initial solution
We have a concentrated solution and we want to prepare a diluted one. We can calculate the initial volume using the dilution rule.
C₁ × V₁ = C₂ × V₂
V₁ = C₂ × V₂ / C₁
V₁ = 0.150 M × 600 mL / 0.350 M
V₁ = 25.7 mL
