A 75.0 mL aliquot of a 1.60 M solution is diluted to a total volume of 258 mL. A 129 mL portion of that solution is diluted by adding 125 mL of water. What is the final concentration? Assume the volumes are additive.

Thus the final concentration is 0.236 M

Explanation:

According to moalrity equation:

= Molarity of stock solution = 1.60 M

= volume of stock solution = 75.0 ml

= molaity of diluted solution = ?

= volume of diluted solution = 258 ml

For second dilution:

= Molarity of stock solution = 0.465 M

= volume of stock solution = 129 ml

= molaity of diluted solution = ?

= volume of diluted solution = (129+125) = 254 ml

Thus the final concentration is 0.236 M

the population of unionid mussels in the hudson river decreased after zebra mussels were introduced. zebra mussels, a nonnative species, competed with the unionid mussels for food. the zebra mussels were able to outcompete the unionid mussels, allowing the zebra mussel population to increase dramatically over six years. the unionid mussel population decreased due to a lack of food.
