We can calculate the final concentration of the NaOH solution using the dilution formula: \[ C_1 V_1 + C_2 V_2 = C_f V_f \]
Where: - \( C_1 = 2 \, \text{M} \) (concentration of first solution), - \( V_1 = 20 \, \text{mL} \) (volume of first solution), - \( C_2 = 0.5 \, \text{M} \) (concentration of second solution), - \( V_2 = 400 \, \text{mL} \) (volume of second solution), - \( C_f \) is the final concentration, and - \( V_f = V_1 + V_2 = 20 + 400 = 420 \, \text{mL} \).
Now, substitute the values: \[ (2 \times 20) + (0.5 \times 400) = C_f \times 420 \] \[ 40 + 200 = C_f \times 420 \] \[ C_f = \frac{240}{420} = 0.571 \, \text{M} \]
Thus, the final concentration is approximately \( 0.57 \, \text{M} \), or \( 5.7 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{M} \).
What is the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 5.85 g of NaCl in 500 mL of water?
(Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol)
Let \( A = \{-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3\} \). A relation \( R \) is defined such that \( xRy \) if \( y = \max(x, 1) \). The number of elements required to make it reflexive is \( l \), the number of elements required to make it symmetric is \( m \), and the number of elements in the relation \( R \) is \( n \). Then the value of \( l + m + n \) is equal to:
