1. 1.

   0.1 L of 2 M salt water is diluted to 0.5 L. What is the new molarity, to 0.01 M, Ari?
2. 2.

   0.05 L of 1 M sugar water is diluted to 0.2 L. What is the new molarity, to 0.01 M, Bo?
3. 3.

   0.2 L of 3 M salt water is diluted to 1.2 L. What is the new molarity, to 0.01 M, Kira?
4. 4.

   Adding water to sugar water does what to its molarity, Luz?

   • It stays the same, since the sugar is the same
   • It lowers it, since the same moles fill more liters
   • It raises it, since the extra water adds sugar moles
5. 5.

   Why is M₁V₁ = M₂V₂ true for a dilution, Milo?

   • Both sides equal the liters of water added to it
   • Adding water adds solute moles, keeping both sides even
   • Both sides equal the moles of solute
6. 6.

   Which is more dilute: 0.1 M or 1.0 M salt water, Noah?

   • 1.0 M
   • They are equally dilute
   • 0.1 M
7. 7.

   A 2.0 M solution is diluted. Which could be its new molarity, Pia?

   • 2.0 M, the same as before
   • 4.0 M, since dilution doubles it
   • 0.5 M
8. 8.

   Which setup finds M₂ after diluting 0.10 L of 2.0 M to 0.50 L, Tala?

   • M₂ = 2.0 ÷ 0.10 × 0.50
   • M₂ = 2.0 × 0.10 ÷ 0.50
   • M₂ = 2.0 × 0.50 ÷ 0.10
9. 9.

   Which setup finds V₂ when 0.40 L of 1.5 M is diluted to 0.50 M, Zee?

   • V₂ = 1.5 × 0.40 ÷ 0.50
   • V₂ = 1.5 × 0.50 ÷ 0.40
   • V₂ = 0.50 × 0.40 ÷ 1.5
10. 10.

    In M₁V₁ = M₂V₂, what does V₂ stand for, Esme?

    • The starting volume before any water
    • The volume of water added to the solution
    • The final volume of the diluted solution
