A series of dilute NaCl solutions are prepared starting with an initial stock solution of 0.100 M NaCl. Solution A is prepared by pipeting 10 mL of the stock solution into a 250-mL volumetric flask and diluting to volume. Solution B is prepared by pipeting 25 mL of solution A into a 100-mL volumetric flask and diluting to volume. Solution C is prepared by pipeting 20 mL of solution B into a 500-mL volumetric flask and diluting to volume. What is the molar concentration of NaCl in solutions A, B and C

Solution A: 0.00400M

Solution B: 0.00400M

Solution C: 4.00x10⁻⁵M

Explanation:

Solution A is diluting the 0.100M NaCl from 10mL to 250mL. That is:

250mL / 10mL = 25 times.

That means molar concentration of sln A is:

0.100M / 25 = 0.00400M

Solution B is obtained diluting 25mL to 100mL:

100mL / 25mL = 4 times

0.00400M / 4 times = 0.00100M

And solution C is obtained diluting the solution C from 20mL to 500mL:

500mL / 20mL = 25 times

Solution C:

0.00100M / 25 times = 4.00x10⁻⁵M

yes it is balanced

the correct answer would be d. hope this !
