Answer: 0.024 M
Explanation:
According to the neutralization law,
[tex]M_1V_1=M_2V_2[/tex]
where,
[tex]M_1[/tex] = molarity of stock solution = 0.12 M
[tex]V_1[/tex] = volume of stock solution = 20.0 ml
[tex]M_2[/tex] = molarity of diluted solution = ? M
[tex]V_2[/tex] = volume of diluted solution = 100.0 ml
Putting in the values we get:
[tex]0.12M\times 20.0=M_2\times 100.0[/tex]
[tex]M_2=0.024[/tex]
Therefore, the concentration of the resulting solution is 0.024 M.
