A mathematical equation useful for dilution calculations isM(dil)xV(dil)xM(conc)xV(conc) (a) What does each symbol mean,and why does the equation work? (b) Given the volume and mo-larity of a CaCl2solution, how do you determine the number ofmoles and the mass of solute?

Expert Solution
concept

molarity is the number of moles of solute dissolved in a 1 liter of solution.M=nVwhere,M=molarityn=no of molesV=volume of solution in 1 L

Step 1

a)expression for dilution calculations-Mdil×Vdil=Mconc×Vconcwhere,Mdil=Molarity of diluted solutionVdil=volume of diluted solutionMconc=Molarity of concentrated solutionVconc=volume of concentrated solutionthis equation is useful to determine unknown value of molarity or volume ,from known value of molarity and volume .
