2pts) Given 750ml of a 6M Na2CO3 stock solution, how much do you need to make 350ml of a 20% Na2CO3 working solution? Show your calculations for full credit.
Solution :-
20 % solution means 20 g Na2CO3 in 100 ml solution
therefore for 350 ml solution mass of Na2CO3 needed is calculated as
350 ml * 20 g /100 ml = 70.0 g Na2CO3
now lets calculate moles of the 70.0 g Na2CO3
moles = mass / molar mass
moles of Na2CO3 = 70.0 g / 105.9888 g per mol
= 0.6604 mol Na2CO3
now lets use this moles and molarity of the stock solution to calculate volume of the stock solution needed
molarity = moles / volume in liter
so
volume in liter = moles / molarity
volume in liter = 0.6604 mol / 6 mol per liter
volume in liter = 0.1101 L
convert liter to ml
(0.1101 L * 1000 ml)/ 1 L = 110.1 ml
so we need 110.1 ml of the 6 M stock solution to make 350 ml 20 % solution
take 110.1 ml of the stock solution and dilute it to total volume of 350 ml.
