Here is the problem: How much 2 M stock solution do you need to make 1000 mL of 0.1 M solution?

2
00:00:07.753 --> 00:00:13.964
Diluting adds solvent but not solute, so the moles of solute before and after are equal.

3
00:00:14.764 --> 00:00:17.411
Moles of solute stay the same when you dilute.

4
00:00:17.861 --> 00:00:20.369
Rearrange for initial volume V₁.

5
00:00:20.819 --> 00:00:21.806
Substitute.

6
00:00:22.256 --> 00:00:27.446
Solvent to add. Start with V₁ of the stock and add solvent up to V₂.

7
00:00:28.246 --> 00:00:35.479
So the answer is initial volume V₁ equals 50 mL; add 950 mL of solvent.

8
00:00:35.929 --> 00:00:45.078
Any volume unit works in M₁V₁ equals M₂V₂ as long as both volumes use the same one. Moles of solute: 0.1 mol.

9
00:00:45.878 --> 00:00:51.880
M₁V₁ equals 100 and M₂V₂ equals 100, which checks out.
