00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.591
Here is the problem: 10 mL of 10 M solution is diluted to 250 mL. What is the new concentration?

2
00:00:09.041 --> 00:00:15.136
Diluting adds solvent but not solute, so the moles of solute before and after are equal.

3
00:00:15.936 --> 00:00:18.525
Moles of solute stay the same when you dilute.

4
00:00:18.975 --> 00:00:21.878
Rearrange for final concentration M₂.

5
00:00:22.328 --> 00:00:23.280
Substitute.

6
00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:28.991
So the answer is final concentration M₂ equals 0.4 M.

7
00:00:29.441 --> 00:00:38.659
Any volume unit works in M₁V₁ equals M₂V₂ as long as both volumes use the same one. Moles of solute: 0.1 mol.

8
00:00:39.459 --> 00:00:45.415
M₁V₁ equals 100 and M₂V₂ equals 100, which checks out.
