If I want to make 1500. mL of a 1.25 M solution, how many moles of drink mix do I need to add? Show your work! 

If I add another 400. mL of water to the solution I made in #3, what will the molarity of the solution be? Show your work!

Questions:

Some of the predicted molarities did not match the molarity in the simulation – why not? What happened as you added more solute but lowered the solution volume? Why is it not possible to make some of these more concentrated solutions?
