STANDARD Chemistry Dilution MCQ Question
If 500 mL of a 5 M solution is diluted to 1500 mL, what will be the molarity of the solution obtained?
1.5 M
1.66 M
0.017 M
1.59 M
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Using the dilution formula M₁V₁ = M₂V₂, where M₁ = 5 M, V₁ = 500 mL, V₂ = 1500 mL, we find M₂ = (5 × 500) / 1500 = 1.66 M.
