Question

If you need to prepare 100 mL of a 1.0 x 104 M solution of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) in two dilutions when given a 0.1000 M initial stock solution, which of the following procedures are correct? (Multiple answers possible)

A. Pipet 1.0 mL of 0.1000 M stock solution into a 50-mL volumetric flask and dilute to the mark with deionized (DI) water, then pipet 10.0 mL of this diluted solution into another 100-mL volumetric flask and dilute to the mark with DI water.

B. Pipet 2.0 mL of 0.1000 M stock solution into a 50-mL volumetric flask and dilute to the mark with deionized (DI) water, then pipet 10.0 mL of this diluted solution into another 100-mL volumetric flask and dilute to the mark with DI water.

C. Pipet 1.0 mL of 0.1000 M stock solution into a 100-mL volumetric flask and dilute to the mark with deionized (DI) water, then pipet 10.0 mL of this diluted solution into another 100-mL volumetric flask and dilute to the mark with DI water.

D. Pipet 5.0 mL of 0.1000 M stock solution into a 100-mL volumetric flask and dilute to the mark with deionized (DI) water, then pipet 2.0 mL of this diluted solution into another 100-mL volumetric flask and dilute to the mark with DI water.

Explanation / Answer

third and Fourth options are correct choices.

We know the molarity after dilution can be calculated by using VM Before dilutioon = VM after dilution , as the moles of solute remain same.

option 1

Molarity after first dilution = 1x 0.1 /50 = 2.0x10-3 M

molarity after second dilution =2.0x10-3 x10/100 = 2x10-4 M

Thus incorrect

option 2

Molarity after first dilution = 2x 0.1 /50 =4.0x10-3 M

molarity after second dilution =4.0x10-3 x10/100 = 4x10-4 M

Thus incorrect

option 3

Molarity after first dilution = 1x 0.1 /100 = 1.0x10-3 M

molarity after second dilution =10x10-3 x10/100 = 1.0x10-4 M

Thus correct

option 4

Molarity after first dilution = 5.0x 0.1 /100 = 5.0x10-3M

molarity after second dilution =5.0x10-3 x2 /100 = 1.0x10-4 M

Thus correct
