25cm3 of a 0.4M sodium hydroxide solution was diluted into 250cm3 of water. What is the molarityof the resultant solution.

0.04 M

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial volume of solution (V1) = 25 cm³

Initial Molarity of solution (M1) = 0.4 M

Final volume of solution (V2) = 250 cm³

Final Molarity of solution (M2) =?

We can obtain the final Molarity of the solution by using the dilution formula as illustrated below:

M1V1 = M2V2

0.4 × 25 = M2 × 250

10 = M2 × 250

Divide both side by 250

M2 = 10/250

M2 = 0.04 M

Therefore, the resulting molarity of the diluted solution is 0.04 M
