Question

250 mL of x M solution and 500 mL of y M solution of a solute A are mixed and diluted to 2 litre to produce a final concentration of 1.6 M.
If x:y=5:4, calculate x and y.

Solution

We know that,
M1V1+M2V2=MR(V1+V2)
x×250+y×500=1.6(2000)
x+2y=1.6×8
x+2y=12.8
xy+2=12.8y
54+2=12.8y
134=12.8y
y=12.8×413=3.94
Similarly, x=4.92.
