To what volume should you dilute 51 ml of a 13 m stock hno3 solution to obtain a 0.126 m hno3 solution?

we can use the following formula when preparing diluted solutions from stock solutions

c1v1 = c2v2

c1 is concentration and v1 is volume of stock solution taken to prepare the diluted solution

c2 is concentration and v2 the volume of the diluted solution

13 M x 51 mL = 0.126 M x V

V = 5262 mL

the final volume of the diluted solution is 5262 mL.

then 51 mL should be added to 5211 mL to get a final volume of 5262 mL diluted solution
