A centimeter solution is diluted 10 times. Its molarity would become. ...
Solution:
To determine the new molarity of a solution after dilution, we can use the equation:
M1V1 = M2V2
Where:
M1 = initial molarity of the solution
V1 = initial volume of the solution
M2 = final molarity of the solution
V2 = final volume of the solution
In this case, the solution is diluted 10 times. This means that the volume of the solution is increased by a factor of 10, while the amount of solute (in this case, the centimeter solution) remains the same.
Step 1: Determining the initial molarity and volume
Since the question does not provide the initial molarity and volume, let's assume that the initial molarity of the centimeter solution is 1 M and the initial volume is 1 L (to simplify the calculations).
M1 = 1 M
V1 = 1 L
Step 2: Determining the final volume
Since the solution is diluted 10 times, the final volume will be 10 times the initial volume:
V2 = 10 L
Step 3: Calculating the final molarity
Now, we can use the equation M1V1 = M2V2 to calculate the final molarity:
(1 M)(1 L) = M2(10 L)
1 = 10M2
M2 = 1/10
M2 = 0.1 M
Therefore, the final molarity of the centimeter solution after being diluted 10 times is 0.1 M.
