The initial volume is
Explanation:
Whenever you are dealing with a dilution, (going from a higher concentration to a lower concentration), use the equation below:
Let's determine our known and unknown variables:
- Initial Molarity
- Final Volume
- Final Molarity
- Initial Volume
Next, we rearrange the equation to solve for
Plug in the known values and solve for your unknown:
Thus,
