out of 2.00 50 mL of water is added to 30 mL of a 0.50 M salt solution. What is the new concentration? (To write your answer using scientific notation use 1.0E-1 instead of 1.0 x 10-1)

The concentration of the new solution will be 0.31 M

Explanation:

The number of moles per liter of the solution is 0.50 mol. Then, in 50 ml there will be:

50 ml · (0.50 mol / 1000 ml) = 0.025 mol.

If we add 30 ml and assuming that the solution is an ideal solution, the final volume will be 80 ml.

Then, 0.025 mol will be present in 80 ml solution. In 1 l there will be:

1000 ml · (0.025 mol / 80 ml) = 0.31 mol.

The concentration of the new solution will be 0.31 M.
