Answer:

The final volume must be 400 mL.

Explanation:

Let us assume the Initial volume as 100ml

Using dilution factor formula  

[tex]\\$M_{1} \times V_{1}=M_{2} \times V_{2}$\\\\$0.400 M \times 100 m l=0.100 M \times V_{2}$[/tex]

So,

[tex]$V_{2}=\frac{0.400 M \times 100 m l}{0.100 M}=400 m l$[/tex]

Thus, the final volume must be 400 mL.

Explanation:

Molarity of HCl ,[tex]M_1= 0.400 M[/tex]

Volume of the HCl solution = [tex]V_1=500mL[/tex] (assume)

Molarity of HCl after dilution [tex]M_1= 0.100 M[/tex]

Volume of new HCl solution = [tex]V_2[/tex]

[tex]M_1V_1=M_2V_2[/tex]

[tex]0.400 M\times 500 mL=0.100 M\times V_2[/tex]

[tex]V_2=\frac{0.400 M\times 500 mL}{0.100 M}=2000 mL[/tex]

[tex]\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{500 mL}{2000 mL}[/tex]

[tex]V_2=4\times V_1[/tex]

In order to dilute a HCl solution from 0.400 M to 0.100 M the final volume must be 4 times the initial volume of 0.400 M HCl solution .
