A chemist makes of nickel(II) chloride working solution by adding distilled water to of a stock solution of nickel(II) chloride in water.Calculate the concentration of the chemist's working solution. Round your answer to significant digits.

0.0900 mol/L

Explanation:

A chemist makes 330. mL of nickel(II) chloride working solution by adding distilled water to 220. mL of a 0.135 mol/L stock solution of nickel(II) chloride in water. Calculate the concentration of the chemist's working solution. Round your answer to significant digits.

Step 1: Given data

Initial concentration (C₁): 0.135 mol/LInitial volume (V₁): 220. mLFinal concentration (C₂): ?Final volume (V₂): 330. mL

Step 2: Calculate the concentration of the final solution

We prepare a dilute solution from a concentrated one. We can calculate the concentration of the working solution using the dilution rule.

C₁ × V₁ = C₂ × V₂

C₂ = C₁ × V₁/V₂

C₂ = 0.135 mol/L × 220. mL/330. mL = 0.0900 mol/L

Prairie plants are especially adept at storing carbon, locking up large amounts in their roots. In fact, prairies store more carbon below ground than a forest stores above! Deep, complex prairie root systems sequester (store) carbon and – with the help of microorganisms – move it to the soil where it stabilizes.
