Answer

a. 0.833 mL $KNO_3$ solution. b. 5.21 mL $H_2SO_4$ solution. c. 75.0 mL $NH_4Cl$ solution.

Work Step by Step

1. Write the dilution expression, and solve for the initial volume $(V_1)$ $C_1V_1 = C_2V_2$ $$V_1 = \frac{C_2V_2}{C_1} $$ a. 2. Substitute the values and calculate the initial volume: $$V_1 = \frac{(20.0 \space mL)(0.250 \space M)}{6.00 \space M}$$ $$V_1 = 0.833 \space mL$$ b. 2. Substitute the values and calculate the initial volume: $$V_1 = \frac{(25.0 \space mL)(2.50 \space M)}{12.0 \space M}$$ $$V_1 = 5.21 \space mL$$ c. 2. Substitute the values and calculate the initial volume: $$V_1 = \frac{(0.500 \space L)(1.50 \space M)}{10.0 \space M} \times \frac{1000 \space mL}{1 \space L}$$ $$V_1 = 75.0 \space mL$$
