Formula from Chapter 3: Dilution law

\(c_{\mathrm{1}} \cdot V_{\mathrm{1}} = c_{\mathrm{2}} \cdot V_{\mathrm{2}}\)     

You can use this if: the only thing that happened was adding solvent to a solution

\(c_{\mathrm{1}}\) \(= 2.00\ \mathrm{M}\)


\(V_{\mathrm{1}}\) \(= 5.00\ \mathrm{mL}\)


\(V_{\mathrm{2}}\) \(= 50.0\ \mathrm{mL}\)


\(c_{\mathrm{2}}\) \(= c_{\mathrm{1}} \cdot \dfrac{V_{\mathrm{1}}}{V_{\mathrm{2}}}\)

\(\ \ \ =2.00\ \mathrm{M} \cdot \dfrac{5.00\ \mathrm{mL}}{50.0\ \mathrm{mL}}\)

\(\ \ \ =2.00\ \mathrm{M} \cdot 0.10000\)

\(\ \ \ =0.200\ \mathrm{M}\)
