00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.626
Here is the problem: 25 mL of 2 M solution is diluted to 100 mL. What is the new concentration?

2
00:00:09.076 --> 00:00:15.206
Diluting adds solvent but not solute, so the moles of solute before and after are equal.

3
00:00:16.006 --> 00:00:18.642
Moles of solute stay the same when you dilute.

4
00:00:19.092 --> 00:00:21.960
Rearrange for final concentration M₂.

5
00:00:22.410 --> 00:00:23.339
Substitute.

6
00:00:24.139 --> 00:00:29.480
So the answer is final concentration M₂ equals 0.5 M.

7
00:00:29.930 --> 00:00:39.868
Any volume unit works in M₁V₁ equals M₂V₂ as long as both volumes use the same one. Moles of solute: 0.05 mol.

8
00:00:40.668 --> 00:00:46.264
M₁V₁ equals 50 and M₂V₂ equals 50, which checks out.
