g 0.500 L of a solution with a concentration of 0.25 M is needed. To prepare this solution, a stock solution with a concentration of 1.25 M is prepared. What volume of the stock solution is needed to create the desired solution

0.1 L

Explanation:

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

Concentration of stock solution (C₁) = 1.25 M

Volume of diluted solution (V₂) = 0.5 L

Concentration of diluted solution (C₂) = 0.25 M

Volume of stock solution needed solution (V₁) =?

The volume of the stock solution needed can be obtained as follow:

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

1.25 × V₁ = 0.25 × 0.5

1.25 × V₁ = 0.125

Divide both side by 1.25

V₁ = 0.125 / 1.25

V₁ = 0.1 L

Therefore, the volume of the stock solution needed is 0.1 L
