Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

If 500 mL of a 5 M solution is diluted to 1500 mL, what will be the molarity of the solution obtained?

A

1.5 M

B

1.66 M

C

0.017 M

D

1.59 M

Correct Answer

Option B

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.
