The correct option is A 1.59 M
Molarity of the solution after dilution
Initial molarity of solution (M1) = 5 M
See Also16.10: DilutionInitial volume of solution (V1) = 500 mL
On dilution, total volume of solution increases.
Final volume of solution (V2) = 1500 mL
Final molarity of solution (M2)=× M
For dilution process, formula used is:-
M1V1 = M2V2
5×500 = x×1500
x = 5×5001500=1.66 M
Thus, when a 500 mL of 5 M solution is diluted to 1500 mL, the molarity of solution obtained is 1.66 M.
