Start by using the dilution formula, which is \( C_1V_1 = C_2V_2 \), where \( C_1 \) and \( V_1 \) are the concentration and volume of the stock solution, and \( C_2 \) and \( V_2 \) are the concentration and volume of the diluted solution.
Identify the known values: \( C_1 = 13 \) M, \( C_2 = 4.0 \) M, and \( V_2 = 350 \) mL. You need to find \( V_1 \), the volume of the stock solution.
Rearrange the dilution formula to solve for \( V_1 \): \( V_1 = \frac{C_2V_2}{C_1} \).
Substitute the known values into the rearranged formula: \( V_1 = \frac{4.0 \times 350}{13} \).
Calculate \( V_1 \) to find the volume of 13 M HCl needed to prepare the desired solution. Ensure units are consistent and convert if necessary.
