Answer:
0.04 L
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Concentration of stock solution (C1) = 18M
Volume of stock solution needed (V1) =?
Concentration of diluted solution (C2) = 1.5M
Volume of diluted solution (V2) = 0.5L
The volume of the stock solution needed can be obtain by using the dilution formula.
This is illustrated below:
C1V1 = C2V2
18 x V1 = 1.5 x 0.5
Divide both side by 18
V1 = (1.5 x 0.5)/18
V1 = 0.04L
Therefore, the volume of the stock solution needed is 0.04L.
