Answer:
15.28 mL
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Molarity of stock solution (M₁) = 4.5x10¯⁴ M
Volume of diluted solution (V₂) = 275 mL
Molarity of diluted solution (M₂) = 2.5×10¯⁵ M
Volume of stock solution (V₁) needed =.?
The volume of the stock solution needed can be obtained by using the dilution formula as illustrated below:
M₁V₁ = M₂V₂
4.5x10¯⁴ × V₁ = 2.5×10¯⁵ × 275
4.5x10¯⁴ × V₁ = 0.006875
Divide both side by 4.5x10¯⁴
V₁ = 0.006875 / 4.5x10¯⁴
V₁ = 15.28 mL
Therefore, the volume of the stock solution needed is 15.28 mL
