Molarity = Moles of soluteVolume of solution

Explanation:

And thus we use the above equation to give us (i), the initial moles of solute:

Moles of FeSO4 = Volume × Molarity

75×103L×3.8molL1 = 0.285mol

But this is diluted to a volume of 4.0L, and so to (ii), the new concentration:

Concentration = 0.285mol4.0L=0.071molL1
