Dilution Problem
Preparing a stock solution
You are a workstudy for the chemistry department. Your supervisor has just asked you to prepare 500mL of 3M HCl for tomorrow's undergraduate experiment. In the stockroom explorer, you will find a cabinet called "Stock Solutions". Open this cabinet to find a 2.5L bottle labeled "11.6M HCl". The concentration of the HCl is 11.6M. Please prepare a flask containing 500 ml of a 3 M (+/- 0.005M) solution and relabel it with its precise molarity. Note that you must use realistic transfer mode, a buret, and a volumetric flask for this problem.

Please do any relevant calculations on the paper supplied. As a reminder, to calculate the volume needed to make a solution of a given molarity, you may use the following formula:

C1V1 = C2V2
