Question 8 (5 points) (08.02 MC)
A 10 M concentrated stock solution of NaCl was used to prepare 5 liters of diluted 1 M solution. Which of the following statements is true about
the
process used to achieve this required dilution? (5 points)
O a
The volume of stock solution used was less than 0.4 liters.
Oь
The volume of stock solution used was more than 5 liters.
Ос
The volume of the solvent used was less than 0.4 liters.
Od
The volume of the solvent used was less than 5 liters.

d . The volume of the solvent used was less than 5 liters.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to calculate the volume of the stock (initial) solution by using the following equation:

Thus, we solve for, V1, which stands for the aforementioned volume of stock solution:

Then, we plug in to obtain:

Now, since the final volume was 5 L, we can infer that the volume of solvent is 4.5 L and that of the stock solution 0.5 L for a total of 5 L of diluted solution; therefore, the correct reasoning is d . The volume of the solvent used was less than 5 liters.

Regards!

the answer would be c
