Chapter 1, Problem 1.24P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The molarity of the given $\text{CsCl}$ solution has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Molarity:

Molarity can be defined as the moles of solute to the volume of the solution (in liters).  The molarity of a solution can be given by the formula,

  $\text{Molarity(M)=}\frac{\text{Moles}\text{of}\text{solute(in}\text{mol)}}{\text{Volume}\text{of}\text{solution(in}\text{L)}}$

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The volume (in $\text{mL}$) of concentratated solution that should be diluted to $\text{500 mL}$ to make $\text{0}\text{.100 M CsCl}$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Formula for Dilution:

  ${\text{V}}_{\text{1}}{\text{N}}_{\text{1}}{\text{ = V}}_{\text{2}}{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}$

Where,

${\text{V}}_{\text{1}}$ is the initial volume

${\text{N}}_{\text{1}}$ is the initial concentration

${\text{V}}_2$ is the final volume (desired)

${\text{N}}_2$ is the final concentration (desired)
