A stock solution containing Mn2 ions was prepared by dissolving 1.584g of pure manganese metal in nitric acid and diluting to a final volume of 1.000L. The following solutions were then prepared by dilution:a. For solution A, 50.00mL of stock solution was diluted to 1000.0mL. b. For solution B, 10.00mL of solution A was diluted to 250.0mL. c. For solution C, 10.00mL of solution B was diluted to 500.0mL. Calculate the concentrations of the stock solution and solutions A, B and C. 3

    The concentration of the stock solution is 0.029 M

    The concentration of the solution A is 0.00145 M.

    0.000058 moles/litre is the concentration of Solution B.

    0.00000116 moles / litre is the concentration of solution C.

    Explanation:

    Weight of the manganese metal dissolved is 1.584 and diluted in 1000 ml.

    The number of moles of manganese will be calculated as

    Number of moles = mass : atomic mass (atomic mass of manganese = 54.93 gram/mole)

    Thus number of moles = 1.584 : 54.93

    = 0.029 moles

    Molarity or concentration of the Mn ions is calculated by the formula:

    M = n : V

    M = 0.029 : 1

    0.029M is the molarity of the solution given.

    Now to know the molarity of solution A

    It can be known by

    M1V1 = M2V2

    0.029 * 50 ml = M2 * 1000 ml

    M2 = 0.00145 M thus the molarity of the solution A is 0.00145 M.

    Molarity of solution B (10 ml of solution A is diluted to 250 ml)

    Applying the formula:

    M1V1 = M2V2

    0.00145 * 10 = M2 * 250 (ml will be converted to L by dividing the volume with 1000)

    M2 = 0.000058 moles/litre is the concentration of Solution B.

    For solution C (10 ml of solution B is diluted to 500ml)

    From the formula:

    M2 V2 = M3V3

    0.000058 * 10 = M3 * 500 (Volume will be changed to L)

    0.000058 * 0.01 = M3 * 0.5

    = 0.00000116 moles / litre is the concentration of solution C.
