Question

chemistry Preparation of Solutions: Calculate the volume of stock solution needed in each ease to make the assigned standard solution: A standard solution with a concentration of 4 mg/L caffeine standard in a 10-mL volumetric flask using a stock solution of 100 ppm caffeine. A standard solution with a concentration of 8 mg L benzoic acid in a 10-mL volumetric flask using a stock solution of 100 ppm benzoic acid. A standard solution containing 12 mg/L caffeine and 6 mg/L benzoic acid in a 10-mL volumetric flask using the primary stock solutions of 1000 ppm caffeine and 1000 ppm benzoic acid.

Explanation / Answer

2. preparation of solutions,

using C1V1 = C1V2

where,

C1 = 4 mg/L = 4ppm

V1 = 10 mL

C2 = 100 ppm

V2 = unknown

Feed values,

4 x 10 = 100 x V2

V2 = 0.4 mL

So we would required 0.4 ml of 100 ppm stock solution to prepare a 10 ml of 4 mg/L solution.

b. again, C1V1 = C2V2

where,

C1 = 8 mg/L = 8 ppm

V1 = 10 ml

C2 = 100 ppm

V2 = unknown

Feed values,

V2 = 8 x 10/100 = 0.8 ml

So we would need 0.8 ml of 100 ppm stock solution to prepare a 10 ml of 8 mg/L solution.

c. Using C1V1 = C2V2

First, caffeine

C1 = 12 mg/L = 12 ppm

V1 = 10 ml

C2 = 1000 ppm

V2 = unknown

Feed values,

V2 = 12 x 10/1000 = 0.12 ml

Then for benzoic acid,

C1 = 6 mg/L = 6 ppm

V1 = 10 ml

C2 = 1000 ppm

V2 = unknown

Feed values,

V2 = 6 x 10/1000 = 0.06 ml

So we would need 0.12 ml of 1000 ppm caffeine stock solution and 0.06 ml of 1000 ppm benzoic acid stock solution to prepare a 10 ml of 12 mg/L caffeine and 6 mg/L benzoic acid final solution.
