Answer: The molarity of this second dilution is [tex]1.6\times 10^{-3}[/tex]
Explanation:
Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per Liter of the solution.
According to the neutralization law,
[tex]M_1V_1=M_2V_2[/tex]
where,
[tex]M_1[/tex] = molarity of stock solution = 0.20 M
[tex]V_1[/tex] = volume of stock solution = 5.00 ml
[tex]M_2[/tex] = molarity of dilute solution = ?
[tex]V_2[/tex] = volume of dilute solution = 25.00 ml
[tex]0.20\times 5.00=M_2\times 25.00[/tex]
[tex]M_2=0.04[/tex]
The molarity of this first dilution solution is 0.04 M
[tex]M_1V_1=M_2V_2[/tex]
where,
[tex]M_1[/tex] = molarity of stock solution = 0.04 M
[tex]V_1[/tex] = volume of stock solution = 2.00 ml
[tex]M_2[/tex] = molarity of dilute solution = ?
[tex]V_2[/tex] = volume of dilute solution = 50.00 ml
[tex]0.04\times 2.00=M_2\times 50.00[/tex]
[tex]M_2=1.6\times 10^{-3}[/tex]
The molarity of this second dilution is [tex]1.6\times 10^{-3}M[/tex]
