Answer:
315mL
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include the following:
Molarity of stock solution (M1) = 0.135 M
Volume of stock solution needed (V1) =?
Molarity of diluted solution (M2) = 0.0851 M
Volume of diluted solution (V2) = 500mL
The volume of the stock solution needed can be obtain as follow:
M1V1 = M2V2
0.135 x V1 = 0.0851 x 500
Divide both side by 0.135
V1 = (0.0851 x 500) / 0.135
V1 = 315mL
Therefore, the volume of the stock solution needed is 315mL
