The final concentration is 2.0 M

Explanation:

To obtain the final molarity, we can use the equation below:

According to the information provided, we know the following information:

M_1 = 10.0 M
V_1 = 25 mL
V_2 = 125 mL

Since we don't know M_2, the equation has to be rearranged by dividing both sides by V_2 to get M_2 by itself:

M_2 = (M_1 xx V_1)/V_2

Now, just plug in the known values and solve for the second concentration:

M_2 = (10.0 M xx 25 cancel"mL")/(125cancel"mL")

M_2 = 2.0 M
