1.	If 500 mL of a 5M solution is diluted to 1500 mL, what will be the molarity of the solution obtained ?
Answer» 1.5M 1.66M 0.017M 1.59M Solution :For DILUTION, a general formula is `M_(1)V_(1) = M_(2)V_(2)` `:.500xx5M = 1500xxM` `:.M = 5/3 = 1.66M` Given `M_(1)=5M` `V_(1)= 500 mL` `V_(2) = 1500 mL` `M_(2)=M`
