00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.197
Here is the problem: 50 mL of 6 M solution is diluted to 300 mL. What is the new concentration?

2
00:00:08.647 --> 00:00:14.522
Diluting adds solvent but not solute, so the moles of solute before and after are equal.

3
00:00:15.322 --> 00:00:17.946
Moles of solute stay the same when you dilute.

4
00:00:18.396 --> 00:00:21.310
Rearrange for final concentration M₂.

5
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:22.724
Substitute.

6
00:00:23.524 --> 00:00:27.762
So the answer is final concentration M₂ equals 1 M.

7
00:00:28.212 --> 00:00:37.512
Any volume unit works in M₁V₁ equals M₂V₂ as long as both volumes use the same one. Moles of solute: 0.3 mol.

8
00:00:38.312 --> 00:00:44.709
M₁V₁ equals 300 and M₂V₂ equals 300, which checks out.
