Answer:
The volume of water added is 530 mL
The initial volume is 420 mL
Explanation:
Here, we want to get the original volume of the solution and the volume of water added
Mathematically, according to the dilution formula, we have that as:
[tex]C_1V_1\text{ = C}_2V_2[/tex]Where:
C1 and V1 are the molarity and volume of the first solution
C2 and V2 are the molarity and volume of the second solution
Substituting the values, we have it that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1.2\text{ }\times\text{ V}_1\text{ = 0.53 }\times\text{ 950} \\ V_1\text{ = }\frac{0.53\times950}{1.2} \\ \\ V_1\text{ = 420 mL} \end{gathered}[/tex]The above is the initial volume
To get the amount of water added, we subtract the above from the final volume
Mathematically, we have that as:
[tex]950\text{ mL - 420 mL = 530 mL}[/tex]
