To what volume (in mL) would you need to dilute 20.0 mL of a 1.40 M solution of LiCN to make a 0.0880 M solution of LiCN?

To 318.18 mL would you need to dilute 20.0 mL of a 1.40 M solution of LiCN to make a 0.0880 M solution of LiCN

Explanation:

Dilution is the reduction of the concentration of a chemical in a solution and consists simply of adding more solvent.

In a dilution the amount of solute does not vary. But as more solvent is added, the concentration of the solute decreases, as the volume (and weight) of the solution increases.

In a solution it is fulfilled:

Ci* Vi = Cf* Vf

where:

In this case:

Replacing:

1.40 M* 20 mL= 0.088 M* Vf

Solving:

Vf= 318.18 mL

To 318.18 mL would you need to dilute 20.0 mL of a 1.40 M solution of LiCN to make a 0.0880 M solution of LiCN

a chemical change results in a new substance being formed; whereas a physical change will result in a different state of matter
