Answer: A volume of 58.69 mL of water would you add to 35.81 mL of 1.59 M acetic acid solution to make it a 0.97 M.
Explanation:
Given: [tex]V_{1}[/tex] = 35.81 mL, [tex]M_{1}[/tex] = 1.59 M
[tex]V_{2}[/tex] = ?, [tex]M_{2}[/tex] = 0.97 M
Formula used to calculate volume is as follows.
[tex]M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}[/tex]
Substitute the values into above formula as follows.
[tex]M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}\\1.59 M \times 35.81 mL = 0.97 M \times V_{2}\\V_{2} = 58.69 mL[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that a volume of 58.69 mL of water would you add to 35.81 mL of 1.59 M acetic acid solution to make it a 0.97 M.
