If I add 1.50 L of water to 250 mL of a 12.5 M NaOH solution, what will the molarity of the diluted solution be?

The molarity of the diluted solution is 1.786 M

Explanation:

Dilution is a process in which you always start with a concentrated solution to which a greater volume of solvent is added. This modifies the concentration and volume of the resulting solution, but the amount of solute used to prepare the initial solution remains the same.

In summary, in a dilution the amount of solute does not vary, but the volume of the solvent varies: when more solvent is added, the concentration of the solute decreases, as the volume (and weight) of the solution increases.

The following rule is fulfilled:

Vinicial x Cinicial = Vfinal x Cfinal

where:

In this case:

Replacing:

0.25 L* 12.5 M= 1.75 L* Cfinal

Solving:

Cfinal= 1.786 M

The molarity of the diluted solution is 1.786 M

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
