Practice Problem: Dilution Calculations

The video tutorial covers solving dilution problems using the formula M1V1 = M2V2. It explains how to calculate the concentration of a diluted solution and determine the volume of a solution needed for dilution. Three examples are provided: diluting sodium chloride, preparing a diluted HCL solution, and determining the volume of NaOH required for a specific concentration. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the relationship between initial and final concentrations and volumes.

What does it mean when a solution is diluted, and how does it affect the concentration?

How can you verify that the calculated volume of a diluted solution is greater than the volume of the stock solution?

What steps would you take to find the volume of stock solution needed to prepare a diluted solution of a specific concentration?
