VIDEO: DILUTION LAB CALCULATIONS

Many students have still failed to submit the Dilution Lab assigned in Week 6, and tomorrow is the beginning of Week 8.   To assist students, Mr. Hatfield has made a VIDEO showing how to do the dilution calculations which are needed in order to use the simulation.   This calculation is similar to those taught in class and found in your textbook on pg. 296-297:


Following this, Mr. Hatfield demonstrates how to use this calculation in the simulation itself, to test your prediction of how many mL of a stock solution (14.6 M phosphoric acid) will be needed in order to manufacture 365 mL of 2.0 M dilute solution of the same substance:


This video reminds students they will need to convert given values in mL into Liters (L).  This is necessary, as this equation from pg. 296 uses molarity (M), which is defined as 'moles per liter':
