I've done a bunch of questions in acids and bases (and some other topics) where sometimes they will use the total solution amount and sometimes the "total solution amount".
I did the following question:
And calculated it to be exactly 3.0, but the answer is D because the total solution is 110 mL. I used a variation of the MV = MV equations where it was 10 mL on one side and 100 mL on the other. How do you tell when to use the total solution amount, which is 110 mL vs. 100 mL? Do you always use the total solution amount?
