(b) A \(25.00-\mathrm{mL}\) sample of \(0.366 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{HCl}(\mathrm{aq})\) is drawn from a reagent bottle with a pipet. The sample is transferred to a \(125.00-\mathrm{mL}\) volumetric flask and diluted to the mark with water. What is the molar concentration of the dilute hydrochloric acid solution?

Problem 11

(a) What volume of a \(0.778 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}\) (aq) solution should be diluted to \(150.0 \mathrm{~mL}\) with water to reduce its concentration to \(0.0234 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}(\mathrm{aq})\) ? (b) An experiment requires the use of \(60.0 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(0.50 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaOH}\) (aq). The stockroom assistant can only find a reagent bottle of \(2.5 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaOH}\) (aq). How is the \(0.50 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaOH}(\) aq \()\) solution to be prepared?

(a) Determine the volume of \(17.8 \mathrm{M}\) \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\) that must be diluted to \(250 \mathrm{~mL}\) to prepare a \(2.0 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq})\) solution. (b) An experiment requires a \(0.50 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq})\) solution. The stockroom manager estimates that \(6.0\) L of the acid is needed. What volume of \(17.8 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq})\) must be used for the preparation?
