Answer:
To figure out how much 0.05 M HCl solution you can make, you'll need to use the formula for dilution:
\(M_1V_1 = M_2V_2\),
where:
- \(M_1\) = initial concentration (10 M),
- \(V_1\) = initial volume (250 mL),
- \(M_2\) = final concentration (0.05 M),
- \(V_2\) = final volume (what we're trying to find).
By plugging in the values and solving for \(V_2\), you can determine how much 0.05 M HCl solution you can make by diluting 250 mL of 10 M HCl.
