The solution used in hospitals for intravenous infusion, called physiological saline or saline solution, is 0.155 M in NaCl. It is typically prepared by diluting a 1.63 M stock solution with water. What volume (L) of the 1.63 M stock solution is required to prepare 2.00 L of the 0.155 M saline solution?

Solution

To solve this problem, we can use the concept of dilution, which is described by the equation:

C1V1=C2V2 C_1 V_1 = C_2 V_2

where:

  • C1 C_1 is the concentration of the stock solution (1.63 M),
  • V1 V_1 is the volume of the stock solution needed,
  • C2 C_2 is the concentration of the diluted solution (0.155 M),
  • V2 V_2 is the volume of the diluted solution (2.00 L).

We need to find V1 V_1 . Rearrange the equation to solve for V1 V_1 :

V1=C2V2C1 V_1 = \frac{C_2 V_2}{C_1}

Substitute the given values into the equation:

V1=0.155M×2.00L1.63M V_1 = \frac{0.155 \, \text{M} \times 2.00 \, \text{L}}{1.63 \, \text{M}}

Calculate the value:

V1=0.310ML1.63M V_1 = \frac{0.310 \, \text{M} \cdot \text{L}}{1.63 \, \text{M}}

V10.190L V_1 \approx 0.190 \, \text{L}

Therefore, the volume of the 1.63 M stock solution required to prepare 2.00 L of the 0.155 M saline solution is approximately 0.190 liters.
