Answer:
Option B. 25mL
Explanation:
Step 1:
Data obtained from the question:
Molarity of stock solution (M1) = 6M
Volume of stock solution needed (V1) =..?
Molarity of the diluted solution (M2) = 0.5M
Volume of diluted solution (V2) = 300mL
Step 2:
Determination of the volume of the stock solution needed.
Using the dilution formula, we can easily find the volume of the stock solution needed as follow:
M1V1 = M2V2
6 x V1 = 0.5 x 300
Divide both side by 6
V1 = (0.5 x 300) /6
V1 = 25mL
Therefore, 25mL of 6M NaOH is needed.
