A student wants to test for the concentration of food dye FD&C Yellow #5 (Tartrazine) in a yellow Starburst candy. First, the student must prepare standard solutions for the calibration curve. The student has a stock solution of FD&C Yellow #5; the concentration is 0.1140 M. The student takes 6.50mL of the stock solution and dispenses it into a 50.0mL volumetric flask. The flask is then diluted to volume with water. What is the concentration of this standard solution?

Answer :

The molarity of the diluted standard solution is obtained by calculation to be 0.015 M.

Recall the dilution formula;

C1V1 = C2V2

C1 = Initial concentration = 0.1140 M

V1 = initial volume =  6.50mL

C2 = Final concentration = ?

V2 = Final volume = 50.0mL

Making C2 the subject of the formula and substituting values;

C2 = C1V1/V2

C2 = 0.1140 M ×  6.50mL/50.0mL

C2 = 0.015 M
