This chemical reaction should follow the Law of Conservation of Mass where mass cannot be created nor destroyed. That is, what goes in a system should be equal with what goes out the system. For this problem, the mass of C that is produced assuming there are no by-products should be 600 pounds.
Make sure that you understand what they are asking you from this question, as it can be confusing, but the solution is quite simple. They are stating that they want you to calculate the final concentration of 6.0M HCl once a dilution has been made from 2.0 mL to 500.0 mL. They have given us three values, the initial concentration, initial volume and the final volume. So, we are able to employ the following equation:
C1V1 = C2V2
(6.0M)(2.0mL) = C2(500.0mL)
Therefore, the final concentration, C2 = 0.024M.
Answer: You're right, it's 8 M
Explanation: The higher the number, the sweater it is.
The transition metal with the smallest atomic mass is Scandium (Sc).
Hope this helps~
