f 5.0 cm\(^-3\) of 0.200 mol dm(^-3\) Na\(_2\)CO\(_3\) was diluted to 250cm(^-3\) solution, what would be the concentration of the resulting solution?

A.

0.004 mol dm(^-3\)

B.

0.020 mol dm(^-3\)

C.

0.200 mol dm(^-3\)

D.

0.400 mol dm(^-3\)

Correct answer is A

M_{1} = initial molarity
V_{1} = initial volume in liters
M_{2} = final molarity
V_{2} = final volume in liters

 

0.200 X 5.00 = M\(_2\) X 250

M\(_2\) = 1 / 250

M\(_2\) = 0.004 mol dm(^-3\)
