One way to do the problem: If we have 10 liters of solution and we want a 0.2
liter solution it means that 2 out of the 10 liters have to be 1 molar NaOH.
Since we only have 0.25 molar NaOH it means that the number liters needed will
be four times greater than if we had 1 molar. Therefore we need 8 liters of
NaOH.
Another way to solve this problem is to use the equation:
.20=.25*Volumeoriginal/10
Volumeoriginal=8 L
