    1.1 M

    Explanation:

    With this equation:

    M1V1 = M2V2

    This means, the value of molarity * volume before should be the same as after the dilution

    thus:

    M1 = 6.5

    V1 = 1.85

    M2 = ?

    V2 = 11.0

    Solve for M2:

    (6.5 (1.85) = M2 (11.0)

    M2 = 1.0932 = 1.1 M

    The new molarity of the solution is 1.09 M

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    Volume of KOH = 1.85 L

    Molarity of KOH = 6.5 M

    KOH will be diluted to 11.0 L

    Step 2: Calculate moles of KOH

    Moles KOH = molarity * volume

    Moles KOH = 6.5 M * 1.85 L

    Moles KOH = 12.025 moles

    Step 3: Calculate molarity of the new diluted solution

    When we dilute a solution by adding volume, the number of moles will not change.

    Molarity = moles / volume

    Molarity = 12.025 moles / 11.0 L

    Molarity = 1.09 M

    The new molarity of the solution is 1.09 M
