Problema Solution

how many mL of a 4g/L stock is needed to prepare 160 mL of a 1 g/L Solution

Answer provided by our tutors

concentration = pure-solution/total-volume


we want to express every uniformly, so convert mL to L

160 mL*1L/10^3mL = 0.16L


let 'x' represent the amount of pure solution required, then we want

1 g/L = x/0.16L

0.16g = x


we want enough of the 4g/L stock to given us 0.16g of pure solution:

0.16g/(4g/L) = 0.04L = 40mL


we need 40mL of the 4g/L stock
