a student requires to prepare 500ml of 0.1M potassium dichromate (vii) from 0.250M solution must be diluted to 500ml

The volume required : 0.2 L

Further explanation

Given

500ml of 0.1M potassium dichromate (vii)

0.25 solution

Required

The volume

Solution

We can use dilution formula :

M₁V₁=M₂V₂

M₁ = 0.25

M₂ = 0.1

V₂ = 500 ml = 0.5 L

The initial volume taken :

V₁=(M₂V₂)/M₁

V₁=(0.1 x 0.5)/0.25

V₁=0.2 L

You would be correct, boiling water does disinfect contamination.    the property of disinfecting means to kill  germs, bacteria and other pathogens or contamination  that might cause an infection or cause a person to become sickly. a couple methods of disinfecting are using soap, other cleaning supplies or by simply "boiling" the contaminate.  the reason why boiling water disinfects certain attributes is because some cells cannot survive the heat and pressure.
