What is the concentration of a potassium iodate solution after you complete the following porcedure? pipette 10 ml of a 0.31 m potassium iodate stock solution to a 100-ml volumetric flask and then add water to the mark.

Given:

Initial concentration of potassium iodate (KIO3) M1 = 0.31 M

Initial volume of KIO3 (stock solution) V1 = 10 ml

Final volume of KIO3 V2 = 100 ml

To determine:

The final concentration of KIO3 i.e. M2

Explanation:

Use the relation-

M1V1 = M2V2

M2 = M1V1/V2 = 0.31 M * 10 ml/100 ml = 0.031 M

Ans: The concentration of KIO3 after dilution is 0.031 M

fe 55.85 g/mol and h2o 18.02 g/mol.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
