Problem1 Solution


Answer= 8 liters.


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:

Molaritynew=Molarityoriginal*Volumeoriginal/Volumenew

.20=.25*Volumeoriginal/10

Volumeoriginal=8 L
