200 mL of 0.5 mol/L NaCl solution is mixed with 300 mL of 0.1 mol/L NaCl solution. What is the concentration of the mixture?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. 0.26 mol/L

  1. Step 1: Total amount (mol, volumes in litres).
  2. Step 2: Concentration mol/L.
Answer
0.26 mol/L.
Why not the others: 0.3 mol/L: the two concentrations are averaged without weighting by volume. 0.6 mol/L: the concentrations are added. 130 mol/L: the total amount is not divided by the total volume.
